How to calculate ATP yield: Difference between revisions

Created page with "Many different compounds in the body can be broken down to yield ATP. There is almost always a question on the exam where you need to calculate the ATP yield of a certain compound. You must write the process of your calculation on the exam. Here are some examples of compounds: * Fatty acids ** Hexanoyl-CoA ** Hexanoate (hexanoyl-CoA without the -CoA) ** Octanoyl-CoA (an 8 carbon long fatty acid) * Ketone bodies ** β-hydroxybutyrate ** Acetoacetate ** Acetoacetyl-CoA *..."
