- How is ACP similar to coenzyme A? How is it different?arrow_forwardPalmitic acid is a straight-chain saturated 16-carbon fatty acid. How many moles of malonyl-CoA are required for the synthesis of one mole of palmitic acid?arrow_forwardIs it possible to convert fatty acids to other lipids without acyl-CoA intermediates?arrow_forward
- How does the first cycle of fatty acid degradation differ from the subsequent cycles?arrow_forwardCan the carbons in ketones be metabolized and wind up in a glucose monosaccharide? If yes, using merely the information presented in class, outline a possible metabolic route for these carbons. If no, explain why not.arrow_forwardWhy is the isomerization of glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) to fructose-6-phosphate (F6P) an important step in glycolysis? How is the isomerization of F6P back into G6P prevented?arrow_forward
- In fatty acid synthesis, malonyl-CoA, rather thanacetyl-CoA, is used as a “condensing group.” Suggest a reason for this.arrow_forwardIn order to provide the acetyl-CoA molecules to produce 3 equivalents of palmitic acid, how many glucose molecules would be required?arrow_forwardName the starting material for fatty acid synthesis.arrow_forward
