Answer #1

Total yield of ATP from 1 molecule of Arachidonic acid.

FA activation = -2 ATP

Oxidation of Acetyl CoA (in the TCA)= Arachidonic acid has 20 carbons, it undergoes 9 cycles of beta oxidation. 9 cycles give 10 acetyl CoA molecules and one acetyl CoA give 10 ATP in TCA cycle. so 10 Acetyl CoA gives =100 ATP

Oxidation of FADH2= during beta oxidation 9 NADH and 9 FADH2 are produced. I FADH2 gives 1.5 ATP so 9 FADH2 gives=13.5 ATP

Oxidation of NADH= 2.5x9= 22.5 ATP

This gives a total of 136 ATP and 2 ATP are used for the process of activation. so total yield of ATP-=134 ATP.
