Consider the complete oxidation of palmitoleic acid,
CH3—(CH)5-CH=CH-(CH2)-COOH, which is a C16
monounsaturated fatty acid found in animal and vegetable oils.
a. How many cycles of ß oxidation are needed?
b. How many acetyl CoA are produced?
c. How many ATP are generated from the oxidation of palmi-
toleic acid?
