Whiat is brown fa Why it is called brown fat? What is the actios or uhenim cin? 1-1 + 1 + 1 +1-5

Explanation / Answer

4) animals donor possess CS-2 isoenzyme for glyoxylate cycle to occur. Acetate is utilised only in the functioning of the glyoxylate shunt which occurs in peroxisomes of plants and microbes.

Beta oxidation - breaking down of fatty acids to carbon dioxide and water occurs in peroxisomes in plants and microbes. It contains chief enzymes for the same.

Hence, an only lipid diet would trigger excessive upregulation of peroxisomal enzymes.
