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:
