This is fairly complicated, but if you proceed step by step, you can handle it. What is the ATP yield from the complete aerobic catabolism of Ala? Here are the steps in that process: transamination oxidative deamination carbamoyl phosphate synthesis and the urea cycle the aerobic catabolism of pyruvate. Remember to take into account the processing of NADH in oxidative phosphorylation. 12.5 9. 10 15
