Q24: Some fungi can synthesize the following fatty acid using acetyl-CoA and propionyl-CoA through their fatty acid synthesis system. Write all the reactions needed to synthesize this fatty acid starting from the two CoA derivatives. Use structural formula; Include the enzymes/specific domains of FAS (you may use abbreviations), cofactors, and reactants. Do not worry about the chirality of the carbons.
