True or false 1. During fatty acid biosynthesis, acetyl CoA is the donor of the acetyl group. 2. Pyruvate serves as the precursor of the glycerol backbone during TAG biosynthesis. 3. Malonyl CoA is an inhibitor of acetyl CoA carboxylase. 4. HMG-CoA serves as the common intermediate of cholesterol biosynthesis and ketogenesis.

True or false? Under anaerobic conditions, the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex is responsible for the irreversible conversion of pyruvate to acetyl CoA.
True or False e. Triacylglycerols and glycerophospholipids both contain fatty acids and saponifiable. True False f. Pyruvate serves as the precursor of the glycerol backbone during TAG biosynthesis. True False
Need help, please. Given that the enzyme pyruvate carboxylase converts Pyruvate into Oxaloacetate and this is an anapleurotic reaction. In the liver, what is most of the OAA converted into under these conditions? Please explain. 1. When blood glucose levels are low and the energy charge in the cell is high. 2. When mitochondrial acetyl-CoA levels are high and the energy charge is low.
State the steps of ketone body formation, starting with two acetyl CoA. Please make sure to state all the enzymes and co-factors for each reaction.
true or falseduring fatty acid biosynthesis, the product detaches from the fatty acid synthase complex when the chain length is 14 carbons.
True or false? The E2 component of the Pyruvate Dehydrogenase complex binds NAD+ in its active site.
Glucagon secretion inhibits intracellular acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity through a number of different methods. Make a list of everything that comes to mind.
Before β-oxidation, fatty acids must be converted to their CoASH derivatives. Explain why this reaction is necessary.
Modified true or false. Replace the underlined word if false. Glucagon inhibits beta-oxidation, but stimulates fatty acid biosynthesis.
A patient exhibiting all the symptoms of beriberi is placed on a thiamine-enriched diet; however, the symptoms do not disappear. Genetic screening suggests a defect in pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase. Briefly explain why the genetic defect caused beriberi symptoms andy why thiamine supplementation had no effect.
Considering the fatty acids: (a) Arachidic acid (C20H40O2); molar mass = 312.5 g/mol) (b) Palmitoleic acid (C16H30O2); molar mass = 256.4 g/mol). How many cycles of β -oxidation are needed for complete oxidation? How many molecules of acetyl CoA are formed from its complete catabolism? How can you calculate the number of molecules (moles) of ATP formed (net) by the complete catabolism of each fatty acid? and the number of moles of ATP formed per gram of each fatty acid metabolized??
b-Oxidation of naturally occurring monounsaturated fattyacids requires an additional enzyme. What is this enzyme,and how does it accomplish its task?
