Explanation / Answer

Fatty acid synthesis begins with a preparatory step in which Acetyl CoA is transferred from Mitochondria to the Cytoplasm. However, it cannot pass through the membrane, so it is transported as Citrate, which is cleaved to Acetyl CoA and Oxaloacetate.

In the cytosol, Acetyl CoA is converted to Malonyl CoA, a three carbon compound.

Fatty acid synthesis begins with acetyl CoA attached to ACP, 2-carbon groups, derived from malonyl CoA, are added to the growing acyl chain in a series of steps involving condensation, reduction and dehydration reactions.

Elongation of the fatty acid chain stops at 16 carbon atoms after 7 cycles as free fatty acid is released.
