1. Describe the reactions in the initiation stage of fatty acid synthesis. 2. Describe the reactions...
1. Describe the processes by which fatty acids are transported in the blood, activated and transported into the matrix of the mitochondria for breakdown to obtain energy. (Specifically, determine the role of carnitine palmitoyl transferase in the oxidation of fatty acids.) 2. Explain the processes by which fatty acids are released from triacylglycerol stored in adipose tissue. 3. Outline the β-oxidation pathway by which fatty acids are metabolized to acetyl-CoA and explain how this leads to the production of large...
Complete the sentences to correctly describe steps in fatty acid synthesis. Put the terms to the appropriate blanks. Some terms will not be used, and some will be used more than once. Fatty acid synthesis begins with a preparatory step in which ____________ is transferred from ___________ to the ___________. However, it cannot pass through the membrane, so it is transported as ___________, which is cleaved to ____________ and ____________. In the cytosol, acetyl CoA is converted to ____________, a...
Describe the steps involved in converting glycerol into triacylglycerol. Explain the roles of the citrate shuttle with regards to the fat synthesis pathway by describing how acetyl groups are transported into the cytosol and the paths the products of the cytosolic cleavage reaction take. As in glycolysis and the degradation of glucose, the degradation of fatty acids also requires an initial investment of ATP energy. State the reaction or reactions where ATP energy is needed before fatty acids can be...
Please solve all During fatty acids synthesis, which group of the compound below is not incorporated into fatty acid being synthesized? eC CHIC ACP d. none of the above hich of the following is not found in a glycerolphospholipid? a. phosphate group b. fatty acids c. sphingosine d. glycerol ATP is produced at which step of glycolysis? . lactate dehydrogenase o. phosphoglucoseisomerase . enolase . phosphoglycerate kinase Which of the following is contained in cytochrome c oxidase? a. cytochrome a...
Triglycerides can be broken down by hydrolysis reactions to glycerol and fatty acid chains in the digestive tract. Glycerol is easily converted to 1 phosphoglyceraldehyde also known as PGAL. Using your knowledge about how aerobic cellular respiration functions, explain how from this original glycerol molecule how many ATP’s are formed in this process. Make sure you include explanations where each ATP is made.

A) Glycerol, one fatty acid, two phosphate groups and an aminoalcohol B) Glycerol, two fatty acids, one phosphate group, and an aminoalcohol C) Sphingosine, two fatty acid, one phosphate group and an aminoalcohol D) Glycerol, three fatty acids, and a phosphate group 13. When ribose adopts the most stable cyclic structure hemiacetal, which of the following is happening? A. it becomes a furonose C. an acetal is formed B....

A) ketogenesis B) ketone oxidation C) ketone cycle D) ketone transport chain E) ketolysis How many cycles of ß-oxidation are required to completely break down CH3(CH2)14CO2H? A) 1 B) 7 C) 8. D) 14 E) 16 What glycolytic intermediate is glycerol, formed by hydrolysis of triacylglycerols, first converted to...
Fatty Acid Metabolism. The reactions of the fatty acid spiral are shown below. Use the description on the left side of the page to classify the reactions and fill in the boxes on the right side of the page Activation Step. The activation of the fatty acid begins by the addition of CoA which will carry the fatty acid from the cytosol into the mitochondria. The product, which is a fatty acid with a CoA attached, is known as a...
Tor F 1. With the exception of steroids, all lipids contain at least one fatty acid. 2. Some lipids contain monosaccharides as part of their structure. 3. Some lipids contain an amino acid as part of their structure. 4. Glycerophospholipids contain a phosphate portion in their structure. 5. All lipids have a molecule of glycerin as their backbone. 6. Polyunsaturated fatty acids have more than one C-C double bond in their "backbone." 7. Fatty acids are soluble in water. 8....
