The oxidation of glucose requires 6 moles of O2 and
generates 6 moles of CO2. The oxidation of palmitic acid
requires 23 moles of O2and yields 16 moles of
CO2. Which of the following statements is true?
| 1 a molar basis, the combustion of palmitic acid has greater potential to generate more ATP. |
|
| 2 The oxidation of glucose has a lower respiratory quotient than palmitic acid. |
|
| 3 The oxidation of glucose yields more ATP than that of palmitic acid on a molar basis. |
|
| 4 Both processes generate an equal amount of ATP. |
