Lipogenesis, acid synthesis, occurs in several cycles. A diagram of the reaction

Question

Lipogenesis, acid synthesis, occurs in several cycles. A diagram of the reactions of the first cycle of fatty acid synthesis is shown below. Which of the following statements are true? Select all the true statements. Acety-SCoA is used to produce malonyl-scoA. The growing fatty acid chain is bound to an acyl carrier protein (ACP). The reactions of lipogenesis include, but are not limited to, condensation, reduction, and dehydration. Malonyl CoA adds a two-carbon group to the growing fatty acid chain with each cycle. Each cycle lengthens the fatty acid chain by three carbon atoms. The first cycle of lipogenesis yields CO_2, 1 NADP^+, and an acyl group attached to ACP.

Explanation / Answer

Acetyl-SCoA is used to produce malonyl-SCoA --------> TRUE (carboxylation reaction)

it must be mediated by this co-factor.----------->[True],

The reactions of lipogenesis include, but are not limited to, condensation, reduction, and dehydration ------> TRUE

Malonyl CoA adds a two-carbon group to the growing fatty acid chain with each cycle ----------> TRUE

they grow by factors of TWO carbon atoms. False

two NADPH are used to make two NADP+ False
