Title: Complete combustion of the triglyceride Post by: minerva_fm on Jan 18, 2020 Rat heart muscle operating aerobically fills more than 90% of its ATP needs by oxidative
phosphorylation. If the energy source was solely triglycerides whose fatty acyl chains were each 14-C in length and saturated and each gram of tissue consumed O2 at the rate of 12.0 micromol/min, what would be the rate of consumption of the triglyceride per minute and how much ATP would be produced per min for a gram of tissue?
