6. Delineate the steps in the production by a human of a C20:3 45, 8, 11 fatty acid. Make sure your scheme is metabolically plausible. For each step, list the enzymes, cofactors, and product(s). You may start from palmitate, if that is useful. If you require an alternate starting material, identify the material and explain why you chose that material.
