Chapter 14.8, Problem 1QQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The incorrect statement concerning the intermediates in lipogenesis and the citric acid cycle has to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Lipogenesis is the process employed for the synthesis of fatty acid. The starting precursor for the synthesis is acetyl CoA. The enzyme employed for the process is fatty acid synthase. It is a multienzyme complex that ties the reaction responsible for the synthesis of fatty acid. This process is the reverse of the degradation of fatty acid.
