- Identify whether each of the following is involved in b-oxidation or fatty acid synthesis?(a) NAD+(b) Malonyl-ACParrow_forwardThe pentose phosphate pathway is quite active in adipose tissue. Why? Explain how this pathway complements lipogenesis with the use of an example (such as a person eating chocolate).arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is/are TRUE about fatty acid activation before β-oxidation? I. The process consumes energy equivalent to two moles of ATP. II. The fatty acid is activated by ATP to give a fatty acyl-CoA.arrow_forward
- Compare and contrast the pathways of fatty-acid breakdown and biosynthesis. What features do these two pathways have in common? How do they differ?arrow_forwardShow the first cycle of beta-oxidation of stearic acid. How many ATPs will be generated from the complete oxidation of this fatty acid?arrow_forwardFor each of the steps below, choose (A) if the step pertains to b-oxidation, (B) if the step pertains to fatty acid synthesis, or (C) if the step is common to both processes. ______ Acetyl CoA is produced as a product.______ Activation (the committed step of the process) requires ATP hydrolysis. ______ Accumulated acetyl CoA serves as a substrate.______ The length of fatty acid carbon chain is modified in the mitochondria. ______ ACP acts as the acyl carrier.arrow_forward
- In adipose tissue, the pentose phosphate pathway is quite active. Why? With the use of an example, explain how this route aids lipogenesis (such as a person eating chocolate).arrow_forwardCan you explain the process of beta-oxidation for saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, and the synthesis of even-numbered saturated fatty acids, including the reactants, enzymes involved, and products, and provide a visual representation of the pathways?arrow_forwardDefine beta-oxidation of fatty acids? Describe in detail three different steps of beta-oxidation of FAs.arrow_forward
- Which of the following statements is TRUE about fatty acid biosynthesis? Citrate carries malonyl CoA to the cytosol. O Acetyl ACP is the donor of the acetyl group. O NADPH is used as the reducing equivalent in the process. O The product detaches from the fatty acid synthase complex when the chain length is usually 18 carbons.arrow_forwardConsider oleic acid (18:1∆9): 1. How many NADH will be produced from complete oxidation of this fatty acid? 2. How many FADH2 will be produced from complete oxidation of this fatty acid? 3. Total number of ATP produced from NADH in complete oxidation of oleic acid (exclude transport cost of the fatty acid)? 4. Total number of ATP produced from FADH2 in complete oxidation of oleic acid (exclude transport costs of the fatty acid)? Please provide how you got them.arrow_forwardWhat enzyme is the point of regulation for fatty acid synthesis in the cytoplasm? Fatty acid synthase I Citrate lyase 3 Citrate synthase Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (2)arrow_forward
