Consider palmitate, a 16-carbon saturated fatty acid. After four rounds of processing
what number carbon (relative to the palmitate fatty acid) would be the B-carbon
when the fifth round of processing commences?
A) 8
B) 11
C) 10
D) 9
E) 3
Which mode of the pentose phosphate pathway does fatty acid synthesis most
heavily rely on?
) A) The non-oxidative phase
B) The conversion of glucose 6-phosphate into gluconeogenic intermediates,
which reform glucose 6-phosphate so this cycle (which produces an activated
electron carrier) can be repeated
C) The oxidative phase
O D) The conversion of glucose 6-phosphate to a lactone intermediate so that the
cytoplasmic concentration of NADP* remains constant
E) The mode in which glucose-6 phosphate proceeds through glycolysis to
produce ribose 5-phosphate and fructose 6-phosphate which produce ribose
5-phosphate
