Question

Lipogenesis, or fatty acid synthesis, occur 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. Squarebox Each cycle lengthens the fatty acid chain by three carbon atoms. Squarebox the reactions of lipogenesis include, but are not limited to, condensation, reduction, and dehydration. Squarebox Acetyl-SCoA provides the carbon used for fatty acid synthesis. Squarebox The growing fatty acid chain is bound to an acyl carrier protein (ACP). Squarebox The first cycle of lipogenesis yeilds CO_2. 1 NADP^+ and an acyl group attached to ACP. Squarebox Malonyl CoA adds a two-carbon group to the growing fatty acid chain with each cycle.

Explanation / Answer

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

Acetyl-SCoA provides the carbon used for fatty acid synthesis.

The growing fatty acid chain is bound to an acyl carrier protein (ACP).
