Food labels list that a gram of fat has 9 kcal of energy andthat a gram of carbohydrate (or protein) has 4 kcal of energy. Amass to mass comparison, however, is misleading. A bettercomparison is mol to mol, which corrects for differences in MW.This can be done by comparing a molecule of glucose, which has 6carbons, to a molecule of a fatty acid that also has 6carbons.Complete the missing entries in the following table for thecomplete oxidation of one molecule of caproic acidin skeletal muscle. Caproic acid is a 6-carbon saturated, mediumchain fatty acid found naturally in various animal fats and oils.(Caproic acid undergoes two cycles of ?-oxidation to form threeacetyl-CoAs).
