Aerobic respiration is 106 cycles.

Each cycle of aerobic respiration produces a net of 38 ATP molecules, which are used to fuel the degradation of the Palmitic acid molecule. Palmitic acid is first broken down into 8 acetyl-CoA molecules, which then enter the Krebs cycle to produce energy.

Since Palmitic acid has 16 carbons, it undergoes 8 rounds of beta-oxidation to form 8 acetyl-CoA molecules. Each round of beta-oxidation produces 1 FADH2 and 1 NADH molecule, which can then enter the electron transport chain to produce ATP.

Therefore, the total number of FADH2 and NADH molecules produced from the degradation of Palmitic acid is 8 x 2 = 16. Each FADH2 molecule produces 2 ATP molecules, while each NADH molecule produces 3 ATP molecules. Therefore, the total ATP produced from the FADH2 molecules is 16 x 2 = 32 ATP molecules, while the total ATP produced from the NADH molecules is 16 x 3 = 48 ATP molecules.

Adding the ATP produced from FADH2 and NADH molecules, we get a total of 32 + 48 = 80 ATP molecules. Since each cycle of aerobic respiration produces a net of 38 ATP molecules, the total number of cycles required to completely degrade Palmitic acid is 80/38 = 2.11 cycles. Rounded up, this gives us a total of 3 cycles.

Therefore, the total number of cycles required for complete degradation of Palmitic acid (16 Carbon) by aerobic respiration is 3 x 8 = 24 cycles.
