6. The synthesis of fatty acids depends on the sequential transfer of three carbon malonyl-groups from CoA to sulfur groups within the ACP-fatty acid synthase complex. Since each addition lengthens the chain by two, this represents a synthetic energy consuming process that generates: A. increased entropy (S). B. CO2 C. NADPH. D. ATP. E. An unsaturated double bond

6. The synthesis of fatty acids depends on the sequential transfer
of three carbon malonyl-groups from CoA to sulfur groups
within the ACP-fatty acid synthase complex. Since each
addition lengthens the chain by two, this represents a synthetic
energy consuming process that generates:
A. increased entropy (S).
B. CO2
C. NADPH.
D. ATP.
E. An unsaturated double bond
7. Based on their biosynthesis most fatty acids are even
numbered molecules. Thus, 15 and 17 chain fatty acids would
need to be begin with:
A. acetone.
B. beta-hydroxy-buterate
C. acetoacetate.
D. pyruvate.
E. propanyl-CoA.
