1
Q
What are the steps of FA synthesis?
A
malonyl ACP formation
condensation
reduction of carbonyl group
dehydration
release of C16 palmitate
2
Q
What requires biotin during fatty acid synthesis?
A
ACC
3
Q
What powers the condensation reaction of fatty acid synthesis?
A
decarboxylation of malonyl coA
4
Q
does Fatty acid synthesis require ATP?
A
Yes
5
Q
What is the end product of FAS?
A
Palmitate
6
Q
What fatty acid is the precursor for signaling molecules?
A
arachidonate
7
Q
Which carbons from acetyl coA are in palmitate?
A
carboon 15 and 16
8
Q
What happens to the HCO3- during FAS?
A
it is lost as CO2 when malonyl coA condenses with acetyl-coA to form carbon keto actl coA
