General Biology Exam 1 – Topic – Name:

The energy stored in 36 ATP molecules produced by aerobic respiration is 39 percent of the energy available in a six-carbon glucose and the other 61% of the glucose bond energy is lost. The respiration of an 18-carbon fatty acid produces 216 ATP. We can expect that . the degradation of a fatty acid is totally unrelated to the citric acid cycle. ................
