6. The synthesis of fatty acids depends on the sequential transfer of three carbon malonyl-groups from CoA to sulfur groups within the ACP-fatty acid synthase complex. Since each addition lengthens the chain by two, this represents a synthetic energy consuming process that generates: A. increased entropy (S). B. CO2 C. NADPH. D. ATP. E. An unsaturated double bond

Since each addition lengthens the chain by two, this represents a synthetic energy consuming process that generates: A. increased entropy (S). B. CO2 C. NADPH. D. ATP. E. An unsaturated double bond 7. Based on their biosynthesis most fatty acids are even numbered molecules. Thus, 15 and 17 chain fatty acids would need to be begin with: A. acetone. B. beta-hydroxy-buterate C. acetoacetate. D. pyruvate. E. propanyl-CoA.
