#Unit 1. Structure and Function of Biomolecules
If the 16-carbon saturated fatty acid palmitate is oxidized completely to carbon dioxide and water (via the B-oxidation pathway and the citric acid cycle), and all of the energy-conserving products are used to drive ATP synthesis in the mitochondrion, the net yield of ATP per molecule of palmitate is:

Which of the following is (are) true of the oxidation of 1 mol of palmitate (a 16-carbon saturated fatty acid; 16:0) by the B-oxidation pathway, beginning with the free fatty acid in the cytoplasm?
1. Activation of the free fatty acid requires the equivalent of two ATPs.
2. Inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) is produced.
3. Carnitine functions as an electron acceptor.
4. 8 mol of FADH2 are formed.
