1. For the following fatty acids determine the (i) number of ATP you would get from beta oxidation followed by entry into TCA and (ii) track a label at the terminal carbon (carbon 12 for (a) and carbon 13 for (b)) and show where it would turn up in oxaloacetate in the first round of TCA.
(a)12:2cD4,8
(b) 13:2cD5,9
2. Consider how many ATP you can hypothetically create from the energy stored in linoleic acid (18:2cD9, 12). Now count how many ATP you 'actually' achieve. What is the efficiency of ATP creation for linoleic acid?
