Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:The role of geranyl pyrophosphate and farnesyl pyrophosphate excluding cholesterol synthesis should be determined.
Concept Introduction: Cholesterol biosynthesis takes place in the endoplasmic reticulum. It initiates with Acetyl- CoA and Acetoacetyl-CoA. Isopentenyl pyrophosphate forms 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA from acetyl CoA and acetoacetyl CoA.
