Problem Set & Solutions

Problem Solving Video: Problem Set 9, Problem 1: Catabolism of Triacylglycerols

In this problem, Dr. Fedeles calculates how much energy we get from metabolizing a molecule of fat. In this case, the fat is triacylglycerols which are synthesized from three fatty acids joined together by one glycerol molecule.
