Interpretation:
The lipogenesis C4-ACP monoacid intermediate counterpart for the citric acid cycle C4-diacid intermediate succinate has to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Lipogenesis is the process employed for the synthesis of fatty acid. The starting precursor for the synthesis is acetyl CoA. The enzyme employed for the process is fatty acid synthase. It is a multienzyme complex that ties the reaction responsible for the synthesis of fatty acid. This process is the reverse of the degradation of fatty acid.
The Citric acid cycle is a series of biochemical reactions that use acetyl CoA (produced by oxidation of pyruvate) to produce carbon dioxide, NADH and FADH2 in a series of

Answer to Problem 25.106EP
The lipogenesis C4-ACP monoacid intermediate counterpart for the citric acid cycle C4-diacid intermediate succinate is butyrate.
Explanation of Solution
Succinic acid is a dicarboxylic acid and has 4 carbon atoms. Thus, each intermediate of the citric acid cycle is a C4 derivative of dicarboxylic acid. The structure of succinic acid is,
Intermediates involved in the lipogenesis are derivatives of C4 molecule butyric acid. Butyric acid is a monocarboxylic acid and has 4 carbon atoms. Thus, each intermediate of the lipogenesis is a C4 derivative of monocarboxylic acid. The structure of butyric acid is,
The structure of succinate is,
The structure of butyrate is,
Butyrate and succinate are saturated acid with four carbon atoms in each molecule. butyrate is a monoacid formed as intermediate in lipogenesis while succinate is a diacid formed as intermediate in the citric acid cycle. Therefore, the lipogenesis C4-ACP monoacid intermediate counterpart for the citric acid cycle C4-diacid intermediate succinate is butyrate.

Answer to Problem 25.106EP
The lipogenesis C4-ACP monoacid intermediate counterpart for the citric acid cycle C4-diacid intermediate oxaloacetate is acetoacetate.
Explanation of Solution
Oxaloacetate is the intermediate in the citric acid cycle. The structure of oxaloacetate is,
Acetoacetate is the intermediate in the lipogenesis. The structure of acetoacetate is,
Oxaloacetate and acetoacetate are the keto derivatives of saturated acid with four carbon atoms in each molecule. Oxaloacetate is a keto derivative of dicarboxylic acid that is formed as the intermediate in the citric acid cycle while acetoacetate is a keto derivative of monocarboxylic acid that is formed as the intermediate in the lipogenesis. Therefore, the lipogenesis C4-ACP monoacid intermediate counterpart for the citric acid cycle C4-diacid intermediate oxaloacetate is acetoacetate.

My understanding of this is that there are a few ways nodal is amplified though I'm not sure if this is specifically occurs on the opposite side of the AVE. 1. pronodal cleaved by protease -> active nodal 2.

What is the phenotype, and why is the phenotype so similar? Is the phenotype going to be that there is a disruption of the formation of the neural tube for both of these because bottle cell formation is necessary for the neural plate to fold in forming the neural tube and Shroom3 is further needed to close the neural plate? So since both Plekhg5 and Shroom3 are used in forming the neural tube, injecting the mRNA will just lead to neural tube deformity?arrow_forward
