A 14 Carbon fatty acid has 94 ATP molecules.

Before answering this question we need to learn the ATP yield for every oxidation cycle which is:

FADH₂ produces 1.5 ATP while NADH yields 2.5 ATP molecules and for every acetyl CoA, 10 ATP molecules are produced.

Beta Oxidation of Fatty Acid:

In beta-oxidation fatty acid molecules breaks down via catabolic process. During β-oxidation for even numbered fatty acid one molecule of FADH₂, NADH and acetyl CoA are formed.Fatty acid containing 14 carbon atoms produces 6 molecules of FADH₂, 6 molecules of NADH and 7 molecules of acetyl CoA.

So for the calculation of ATP molecules:

6 FADH₂ =6×1.5=9 ATP

6 NADH=6×2.5=15 ATP

7 acetyl CoA=7×10=70 ATP

Total number of ATP molecules are 94.

Therefore, a 14 carbon fatty acid produces 94 ATP molecules.

Answer from: jeny89

94 ATP molecules

Explanation:

To answer the question we need to understand the beta oxidation of fatty acid.

First we need to know each electron carrier produces different number of ATP molecules in the electron transport chain.That is, FADH₂ yields 1.5 ATP while NADH yields 2.5 ATP moleculesAdditionally, for every acetyl coA, 10 ATP molecules are produced.

What happens during oxidation of a fatty acid with even number of carbon, C₂ₙ?

During beta oxidation of an even number fatty acid, C₂ₙ, n-1 FADH₂, n-1 NADH and n acetyl coA molecules are produced.Therefore, for a fatty acid with 14 carbons, then 6 molecules of FADH₂, 6 molecules of NADH and 7 acetyl coA are produced.Therefore, the number of ATP molecules will be;

From; 6 FADH₂ = 6 × 1.5 = 9 ATP

6 NADH; 6 × 2.5 = 15 ATP

7 Acetly CoA ; 7 × 10 = 70 ATP

This gives a total of 94 ATP molecules

Hence a 14 carbon fatty acid produces 94 ATP molecules after beta oxidation.
