Question

17) The reduced cofactor used in fatty acid synthesis is ________.

18) All of the fatty acid synthase reactions are carried out on substrates attached to acyl carrier protein via a ________ linkage.

19) Elongation of fatty acids from palmitate occurs only in the mitochondrion. (True/False)

22) HMG-CoA reductase, the major control point of cholesterol biosynthesis is regulated by transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms mediated by Insig proteins bound in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. (True/False)

Explanation / Answer

17) The reduced cofactor used in fatty acid synthesis is __NADPH

18) All of the fatty acid synthase reactions are carried out on substrates attached to acyl carrier protein via a thioester linkage.

19) Elongation of fatty acids from palmitate occurs only in the mitochondrion. (True/False)

Answer : False. (most elongation occurs in smooth endoplasmic reticulum and some in mitochondria)

22) HMG-CoA reductase, the major control point of cholesterol biosynthesis is regulated by transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms mediated by Insig proteins bound in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. (True/False)

Answer: True
