How many atp are produced from a fatty acid that is 14 carbons long?

92 ATP

Explanation:

Fatty acid oxidation results in the formation of large number of ATP molecules. Three important process of fatty acid are activation of the fatty acid, beta oxidation and entry of acetyl CoA in Krebs cycle.

14 carbon fatty acid is Miristic acid. The complete oxidation of Miristic acid results in the formation of 7 acetyl CoA + 6NADH and

1 Acetyl CoA gives 10 molecules of ATP then 7 acetyl CoA gives 70 molecules of ATP.

1NADH = 2.5 ATP, 6NADH = 15 ATP.

= 1.5 ATP, = 9 ATP.

2 ATP has been consumed in the activation of fatty acid.

Total ATP = 70+15+9-2

=92 ATP.

Thus, the total ATP generated from the oxidation of 14 carbon fatty acid is 92.
