(d)
Interpretation:
The following equation
Concept introduction:
A fatty acid is a form of carboxylic acid that contains a long chain of hydrocarbon. It is the principal component of triglyceride and is used for the storage of energy in the body.
The synthesis of fatty acids takes place in the cytoplasm. The starting material of this synthesis is acetyl CoA.

Answer to Problem 24.22E
The complete reaction is shown below.
Explanation of Solution
The incomplete equation is shown below.
It is the last step of the fatty acid spiral. The acetyl unit from the molecule is released as a molecule of acetyl CoA. This results in the formation of a fatty acid molecule, which is shortened by two carbon atoms. Therefore, the complete equation is shown below.
The complete reaction is shown below.
