Solution

It seems like you forgot to provide the specific numbers in your question. However, I can explain the process in general terms.

The molecule 12:0 CoA refers to a 12-carbon fatty acid attached to Coenzyme A. In beta-oxidation, this molecule would be broken down in a cycle that cuts off two carbons at a time in the form of Acetyl CoA.

  1. Each round of beta-oxidation involves four steps: oxidation, hydration, oxidation again, and then cleavage. This results in one FADH2, one NADH, and one Acetyl CoA per round.

  2. Since each round of beta-oxidation removes two carbons, a 12-carbon fatty acid would require 6 rounds of beta-oxidation to be completely broken down.

  3. Therefore, the complete breakdown of 12:0 CoA would produce 6 NADH, 6 FADH2, and 6 Acetyl CoA.

Please replace 6 with the specific numbers you have in your question.
