Want to know:
The breakdown of one glucose molecule during glycolysis results in 2 molecules of pyruvate, which are then oxidized to 2 molecules of acetyl-CoA, and these, in turn, are substrates for the citric acid cycle. If all three fatty acids of a triacylglycerol molecule (a fat molecule) are palmitic acid (C16, having 16 carbons), how many acetyl-CoA molecules would result from beta-oxidation of all of these fatty acids?

- You have a large, healthy philodendron that you carelessly leave in total darkness while you are away on vacation. You are surprised to find that it is still alive when you return. What has the plant been using for an energy source while in the dark?-Even though the plant received no visible light, it was able to use the short-wave part of the electromagnetic spectrum (gamma rays and X-rays) to carry out photosynthesis.-While it did have access to light, the plant stored energy in the form of sugars or starch, and it was able to derive energy from the stored molecules during your vacation.-Even though it cannot carry out the light reactions, the plant can still produce sugars because the Calvin cycle does not require light.-When light energy is not available, plants can derive energy from inorganic molecules.
- Because some of the energy in every transfer disperses as heat, and dispersed heat is not useful for doing work, we can say that the total amount of energy available for doing work in the universe is always ________________
