(a)
Interpretation:
The intermediate generated in the first cycle of the lipogenesis pathway that has a carbon chain that is derived from a C4 hydroxy monoacid has to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Lipogenesis is the process employed for the synthesis of fatty acid. The starting precursor for the synthesis is acetyl CoA. The enzyme employed for the process is fatty acid synthase. It is a multienzyme complex that ties the reaction responsible for the synthesis of fatty acid. The fatty acid is synthesized in two parts. In the first part, there is citrate-malate shuttle system and in the second part, there is a cyclic process to synthesize saturated fatty acid.
The cyclic process occurs in the enzyme fatty acid synthase. The one turn of this cyclic process constitutes four reactions. The various intermediates formed in the process are associated with a carrier protein known as ACP.
Hydroxy monoacid is the compound that has a hydroxy group and

Interpretation:
The intermediate generated in the first cycle of the lipogenesis pathway that has a carbon chain that is derived from a C4 saturated monoacid has to be identified.

Select all of the true statements. Malonyl-CoA adds a two-carbon group to the growing fatty acid chain with each cycle. Acetyl-SCOA provides the carbon used for fatty acid synthesis. The reactions of lipogenesis include, but are not limited to, condensation, reduction, and dehydration. The first cycle of lipogenesis yields CO₂, one NADP+, and an acyl group attached to ACP. In lipogenesis, acetyl and acyl molecules are activated by an acyl carrier protein (ACP). Each cycle lengthens the fatty acid chain by three carbon atoms. _i CH3-C-S-KS+ 0-C-CH₂-C-SACP acetyl-ACP malonyl-ACP CO2 || CH3 C-CH₂-C-SACP NADPH + H+ NADP+ OH || CH3 CH-CH₂-C-SACP H₂O || CH3CH=CH-C-SACP NADPH + H+ NADP+ CH3CH₂CH2-C-SACParrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about the ß-oxidation cycle is/are TRUE?A.
