Question
Chapter 24, Problem 21P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
A series of three consecutive reactions in the synthesis of linoleic acid from palmitic acid that embody chemistry like three reactions in the tricarboxylic acid cycle needs to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Palmitic acid has 16 carbon and linoleic acid is a 18 carbon fatty acid and linoleic contains two C=C double bonds. One cycle of fatty acid synthesis is required to undergo to convert palmitic acid to linoleic acid.
