Question

4: Identify the combination of statements concerning fatty acid synthesis that are TRUE? I. Fatty acid synthesis occurs in the cytosol II. In mammals, fatty acid synthesis occurs on large multifunctional polypeptide complexes that are structurally organised as X-shaped dimeric complexes of 540 kDa. III. The growing acyl chain is carried on an acyl carrier protein instead of coenzyme A IV. Fatty acid synthesis requires two NADPH per acetyl group (2 carbons) added. (d) (e) III, IV I, II, III and IV

Explanation / Answer

The correct answer to this is Option E

Fatty acid synthesis occurs in cytosol ., for evrry acetyl group we require two NADPH. The growing chain is carried on acyl carrier protein instead of coenzyme A . It occurs on large multifunctional polypeptide .
