Chapter 22, Problem 38P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Role of decarboxylation in fatty acid synthesis must be determined.

Other metabolic pathways that also involves the decarboxylation reaction should be determined.

Concept introduction:

The process of fatty acid synthesis occurs in the cytosol of the animal cells, while it occurs in the stroma of chloroplast in the plant cells. It is a stepwise process, which occurs by the addition of two-carbon units. These carbon units are provided by the acetyl-CoA, derived from glucose oxidation.
