Citrate is able to cross the inner mitochondrial membrane through the citrate transporter integral membrane protein. II. In the cytoplasm citrate synthase catalyzes the production of acetyl- CoA and oxaloacetate III. After lysis of citrate the oxaloacetate is oxidized to malate by a cytoplasmic form of malate dehydrogenase. II and III only Fonly II only Ill only I and II onlyWhich of the following statements is TRUE about fatty acid biosynthesis? Citrate carries malonyl CoA to the cytosol. O Acetyl ACP is the donor of the acetyl group. O NADPH is used as the reducing equivalent in the process. O The product detaches from the fatty acid synthase complex when the chain length is usually 18 carbons.Compare between the Kreb cycle and fatty acid synthesis pathways in term of: 1. The type of metabolic pathway (catabolic or anabolic). 2. The reducing or oxidizing coenzymes needed for these pathways 3. Location of these pathways inside the cell. 4.

- Which of the following statements is TRUE about fatty acid biosynthesis? Group of answer choices: NADH is used as the reducing equivalent in the process. Malonyl ACP is the donor of the acetyl group. The product detaches from the fatty acid synthase complex when the chain length is usually 18 carbons. Oxaloacetate carries acetyl CoA to the cytosol.Before a fatty acid can undergo B-oxidation it must be: O Transport of the FA into the mito. matrix O Hydrolysis of the carboxyl group from the FA O Carboxylation of Acetyl-CoA to form malonyl-CoA Activation of the FA with Coenzyme A O Oxidation of the FA yielding a A2-enoyl intermediateRegulation of fatty acid metabolism is shown by the following strategies. Which statement is NOT true? Degradation and oxidation of fatty acids occur in the tochondria while fatty acid synthesis occurs in the cytoplasm. Reducing power is supplied by NADPH in the cytoplasm Acetyl CoA is produced in the mitochondria, which is not permeable to this metabolite and requires an elaborate mechanism for transport.D. ATP is required in fatty acid synthesis but not in its breakdown, which produces it. ATP is required in fatty acid synthesis but not in its breakdown, which produces it. Enzymes found in the cytosol catalyzes fatty acid synthesis, while enzymes localized in the mitochondrial matrix catalyzes oxidation.
