Textbook Question
Chapter 29.4, Problem 5P

Evidence for the role of acetate in fatty-acid biosynthesis comes from isotopelabeling experiments. If acetate labeled with 13C in the methyl group (13CH3CO2H) were incorporated into fatty acids, at what positions in the fattyacid chain would you expect the 13C label to appear?

From Table 1.1 indicates, among other things, the melting points of various fatty acids. Analyze the trend that the melting points of saturated fatty acids follow, from n-dodecanoic (CH3-(CH2) 10-COOH) to n-tetracosanoic (CH3-(CH2)22-COOH), and answer both next questions.
