A patient who is on a no-fat diet is at particular risk of deficiency in: Correct Answer- Vitamin A Acetyl-CoA is a central to metabolism. Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats can all produce AcetylCoA, though they use different pathways to make it. Correct Answer- True Acetyl-CoA, a central molecule in metabolism, is produced in the mitochondrial matrix. However, it is used for the synthesis of fatty acids in the cytosol. The transport of the acetylCoA from the matrix to the cytosol occurs by the conversion of acetyl-CoA to Correct Answercitrate Beta oxidation of a C14 fatty acid will make 6 acetyl-CoA units after 7 rounds of beta-oxidation Correct Answer- True CH3(CH2)6CH=CH(CH2)2COOH Correct Answer- liquid at the lowest temperature Describe the steps involved in fatty acid synthesis Correct Answer- Acetyl-CoA is transported to the cytoplasm - Biotin transfers a carboxylate group to acetyl-CoA - the malonyl group is transferred to a carrier protein - malonyl ACP combines with acetyl-CoA, - malonyl-CoA is added repeatedly to the growing fatty acid
