Published	08/28/2024	First Step of FA Synthesis: acetyl-CoA --> {{c1::cytoplasm}}Happens like this: Acetyl-CoA + OAA --> {{c1::citrate}} --> cytoplasm -->…
Published	08/28/2024	FA synthesis: OAA + Acetyl-CoA --> citrate --> cytoplasm --> OAA + Acetyl-CoAWhy does OAA eventually --> {{c1::Pyruvate}}, which then…
Published	08/28/2024	Second step of FA synthesis:Acetyl-CoA (2C) + CO2 --> {{c1::Malonyl-CoA (3C)}} via {{c1::ACC (Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase)}}
Published	08/28/2024	Third step of FA synthesis:Using {{c1::ACP}}, {{c1::KS (ß-ketoacyl sythase)}}, and {{c1::KR (ß-ketoacyl-ACP reductase)}},  FA synthase …
Published	08/28/2024	FA Synthase stops making the FA chain once it reaches 16Cs.What is this molecules name?{{c1::Palmitate}}
Published	08/28/2024	What symbol denotes FA desaturation?{{c1::∆}}Mammals cannot desaturate past carbon # {{c1::10}}
Published	08/28/2024	What enzyme desaturates FAs?A {{c1::mixed-function oxidase}}
Published	08/28/2024	Since humans can't desaturate FAs past C 10, we must consume {{c1::ω-FAs (omega FAs)}}2 Exs: {{c1::Linoleate}} & {{c1::α-Linoleate}…
Published	08/28/2024	How do you name ω-FAs?{{c1::<-- end of chain, count inward to first C in double bond}}
