Quiz: Calculate the total ATP produced from the complete metabolism of stearic acid,
CH3(CH2)16COOH  Follow steps below.
a. Calculate number of acetyl CoA.  
18 carbons divided by 2= 9
b. Calculate number of turns for the fatty acid spiral and citric acid cycle.  

Fatty acid spira: 9-1 = 8 turns citric acid cycle = 9 acetyl co a = 9 turns
c. Calculate ATP per turn of the fatty acid spiral if FAD and NAD + enter the electron transport
chain.  
FAD = 2 ATP, NAD+ = 3 ATP, total= 5 per turn
d. Calculate the total ATP for the fatty acid spiral.

8 turns x 5 = 40 ATP
Minus 1 to start = 39 ATP
e. Calculate the total ATP per turn of the citric acid cycle using a diagram of the cycle.  
Step 7=1
3 NAD+ x 3 = 9
FAD = 2 total =12
f. Calculate the total ATP from the citric acid cycle.  

9 turns x 12 = 108 ATP


g. Calculate the grand total of ATP
h. FAS =39 ATP
i. CAC = 108 ATP
j. total
