The energy stored in 36ATP molecules produced by aerobic respiration is 39 % of the the energy avialable in a?

Question

6carbon glucose and the other 61% of the glucose bond energy is lost. The respiration of an 18 carbon fatty acid produces 216ATP. We can expect that

AThe degradation of a fatty acid is totally unrelated to the citric acid cycle

B. 6 times as much energy was stored in this molecule but also a similar proportion is lost

C. because the molecules are so large, fats are an inefficient from of stored energy

D. this respriation pathway must occur in some cell organelle besides the mitochondrion

Answer 1

B

Answer 2

B.. 6 times as much energy was stored in this molecule but also a similar proportion is lost
