Chapter 25, Problem 25.96EP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The characteristic structural feature of an essential fatty acid 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.

The reactions associated with the chain elongation process for the synthesis of fatty acid occurs in the cell cytosol.

Essential fatty acids are those that are not synthesized by the human body but are necessary for the proper functioning of the body. These fatty acid are taken by the body through diet.
