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:

For two species A and B in competition, the carrying capacities, competition coefficients, per capita growth rate and population size are

KA = 1000          KB = 1200        α= .5    r A= .3    N1= 500         N2= 200          

According to the Lotka-Volterra model, what is growth rate of species A?
