Arrange these following four molecules in increasing order of their biological energy content (per mole):
a. Sucrose
b. Myristic acid, CH₃(CH₂)₁₂COOH
c. Glucose
d. Capric acid, CH₃(CH₂)₈COOH
Consider the complete oxidation of oleic acid, CH₃ ― (CH₂)₇ ― CH = CH ― (CH₂)₇ ― COOH, which is a C₁₈ monounsaturated fatty acid.
a. How many cycles of β oxidation are needed?
