Chapter 24, Problem 22P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The equation in section 24.1 should be rewritten to describe the synthesis of behenic acid.

Concept Introduction:

The net reaction for the formation of palmitate from acetyl CoA is

  Acetyl-CoA + 7 malonyl-CoA+ 14 NADPH + 13 H+ + H2 Palmitate + 7 HCO3 + 8 CoASH + 14 NADP+

Fatty acid biosynthesis depends on the reductive power of NADPH.
