Why are animal fats sometimes called “the king of fuels”? What is the significance of acetyl-CoA to lipid metabolism?
The following link carbohydrate metabolism with lipid biosynthesis:
(a) How many molecules of glucose are required to provide the carbon for synthesis of one molecule of palmitate?
(b) How many molecules of glucose are required if all of the glucose first proceeds through the pentose phosphate pathway before proceeding through the rest of glycolysis on its way to pyruvate?
What else can acetyl coA be formed from?
