Why is the net production of ATP from palmitate 106 ATP and not 108 ATP?
A. because conversion of palmitate to palmitoyl-CoA consumes the equivalent of 2 ATP
B. because the overall reaction for conversion of palmitoyl-CoA to has 106 ATP on the products side of the reaction
C. because each NADH produces about 2.5 ATP, and each FADH2 produces about 1.5 ATP
D. because 2 ATP are lost due to the production of by β oxidation inside a mitochondrion
