Draw the structure of stearic acid c18 covalently attached


Consider the process of fatty acid beta oxidation.

A. Draw the structure of Stearic acid (C18) covalently attached to CoA with a thioester linkage.

B. Draw the 4 reactions of beta oxidation of Stearic acid. Be sure to give the name of the enzyme, show the inputs and outputs of FAD, NMI+, water, ne, and draw the reaction products of each step.

C. How many rounds would the beta oxidation spiral be repeated to completely degrade Stearic acid? How many Ac-CoA molecules are produced?How many FADH2 and NADH molecules are produced by the complete degradation of Stearic acid
