Concept explainers
Interpretation:
It should be determined that how many rounds of the lipogenesis cycle are needed to synthesize stearic acid,
Concept introduction:
Fatty acids are aliphatic mono-carboxylic acids that are mostly obtained from the hydrolysis of natural fats and oils. They have a general formula
Lipogenesis is the
Lipogenesis requires;
Synthesis of fatty acids and glycerol
Activation of fatty acids by CoA and glycerol by glycerokinase
The combination of activated fatty acids and activated glycerol to produce TAG (triacylglycerol)
