wesida Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 How much energy do we get from each phase of oxidizing a triglycride molecule with 12c chains of fatty acids. I tried calculating it but i get numbers not in the range that i think is right. --------- -so Glycerol goes into glycolysis and make 1 nadh and 1 atp? -in the intermediate step pyruvic acid is made while forming 1 nadh? -in beta oxidation i know that 2 carbons are broken down each time but iam not sure where to go from there thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 you need to count the bonds and bond types that are broken then look up each on a chart, and add them up. then do the same for the new bonds that are formed. the difference between the 2 will be the overall energy (Delta H). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesida Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 Humm, do you know where i can get such a chart. I am taking a basic microbiology class and iam doing this for extra credit. so i dont have a biochem book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
