Acetyl-CoA is a central to metabolism. Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats can all produce AcetylCoA, though they use different pathways to make it. Correct Answer- True
Acetyl-CoA, a central molecule in metabolism, is produced in the mitochondrial matrix.
However, it is used for the synthesis of fatty acids in the cytosol. The transport of the acetylCoA from the matrix to the cytosol occurs by the conversion of acetyl-CoA to Correct Answercitrate
Beta oxidation of a C14 fatty acid will make 6 acetyl-CoA units after 7 rounds of beta-oxidation
Correct Answer- True
CH3(CH2)6CH=CH(CH2)2COOH Correct Answer- liquid at the lowest temperature
Describe the steps involved in fatty acid synthesis Correct Answer- Acetyl-CoA is transported to
the cytoplasm - Biotin transfers a carboxylate group to acetyl-CoA - the malonyl group is
transferred to a carrier protein - malonyl ACP combines with acetyl-CoA, - malonyl-CoA is added
repeatedly to the growing fatty acid
Due to their amphipathic nature, phospholipids can form micelles and transport other lipids.
The fatty acid chains that make up the phospholipids are the basis for their non-polar character,
and the phosphate group is the basis of its polar nature Correct Answer- True
