Exercise 5

Calculate the number of ATPs generated from the metabolic oxidation of the four carbons of acetoacetyl-CoA to CO₂. Now consider the homolog derived from oxidation of an odd-numbered carbon chain, namely propionoacetyl-CoA. Calculate the net ATP yield from oxidation of the five carbons of this compound to CO₂.
