In this course we have encountered shuttle systems that help with movement of electrons and molecules between the cell cytosol and mitochondria matrix and two examples are : the malate-aspartate shuttle and the shuttle needed for lipid biosynthesis in modulation supply of acetyl-CoA. Compare and contrast between the two shuttle systems. List 2 similarities(be specific in naming shared/common components, such as enzymes, cofactors, etc) and differences between the shuttles.
