2. The following triglyceride, is composed of 3 Capric Fatty Acid Chains (CH₂O₂) and a glycerol. (20 points) a. How many ATPs would you generate from the complete breakdown of this

triglyceride under optimal conditions (assuming cytosolic NADH yields 2.5 ATP/NADH and oxygen is available)? b. If the molecular weight of this triglyceride is 554.84 g/mol, what is the ATP yield per gram of the triglyceride? Compare part b to the ATP yield per gram of glucose under optimal conditions (assuming cytosolic NADH yields 2.5 c. ATP/NADH and oxygen is available)? Glucose molecular weight is 180 g/mol. d. What is the goal of a low carb diet when it comes to your metabolism of ATP?
