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

    D. because 2 ATP are lost due to the production of by β oxidation inside a mitochondrion

    Explanation:Two ATPs were borrowed from the Nets 4 ATPs produced in glycolysis, for the substrate level phosphorylation in the initial stage of glycolysis for pyruvate productions.

    Therefore, the total ATPs would have been 108ATPs, produced as net ATPs, during kerb's cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. But because 2ATPs has been spent in substrate phosphorylation then the ATPs produces is 106ATPs
