Test: Biochemistry

Consider the beta-oxidation of palmitate, a sixteen-carbon fatty acid chain. 

1.

If we look only at the formation of acetyl-CoA, how many acetyl-CoA are produced by the the oxidation of palmitate compared to the oxidation of glucose? 

 times as many acetyl-CoA are produced by the oxidation of glucose than palmitate

 times as many acetyl-CoA are produced by the oxidation of palmitate than glucose

They both form an equal number of acetyl-CoA 

 times as many acetyl-CoA are produced by the oxidation of palmitate than glucose
