- How does fatty acid enter mitochondria via the acyl-carnitine/carnitine transporter?arrow_forwardWhich type of process is lactic acid formation?arrow_forwardGlucose is stored as glycogen (a polymer) in some eukaryote cells (such as liver cells or muscle cells). This cellular storage is performed A) by an enzyme that causes dehydration synthesis in a specialized organelle, B) by a carbohydrate in a liposome, C) by a dehydration enzyme and stored as fat in an adipose cell, D) exocytosis of the glycogen, E) as glucose stored in the nucleus by special genes in the DNA.arrow_forward
- How commonly do specific lipidmolecules associate with membraneproteins to regulate their function?arrow_forwardHow much energy is required to synthesize a saturated C12 fatty acid? How does this compare with the catabolism of a C12 fatty acid?arrow_forwardDescribe the process by which a fatty acid such aspalmitate (a C16 straight-chain saturated fatty acid) issynthesized in a cell.arrow_forward
