Question
Chapter 20, Problem 40CQ
Summary Introduction
To calculate: The cost in ATP equivalents of converting 12 acetyl-CoA to lignocerate, when the elongation occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum.
Concept introduction: Many eukaryotic cells have the ability for 2-carbon chain elongation. In the liver, brain, and other tissues, ER and mitochondria are the two primary systems that provide the chain elongation. The fatty acid elongation associated with the ER is highly active.
