Refer to the table below.
The table summarizes the products (in moles) of the complete oxidation of 1 mole of glucose and the complete oxidation of 1 mole of lauric acid, a fatty acid.Use this information to determine how energy production will compare when an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide is produced from oxidation events involving these two molecules.
A) The energy production will be equal for equal quantities of CO2 production by these two molecules.
B) The energy production by lauric acid oxidation will be greater by 10 ATP when the two molecules are fully oxidized to produce equal quantities of CO2.
C) The energy production by glucose oxidation will be greater by 10 ATP when the two molecules are fully oxidized to produce equal quantities of CO2.
D) The energy production by lauric acid oxidation will be greater by 14 ATP when the two molecules are fully oxidized to produce equal quantities of CO2.
E) The energy production by glucose oxidation will be greater by 14 ATP when the two molecules are fully oxidized to produce equal quantities of CO2.
