WVSOM -- Fatty Acid Synthesis

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
When does FA synthesis occur?   When there are more calories ingested than are needed  
🗑
Beginning Product of FA synthesis   Citrate  
🗑
Citrate converted into what two products in preparation for FA synthesis   Oxaloacetate and Acetyl CoA  
🗑
Acetyl CoA goes to what   Malonyl CoA  
🗑
Malonyl CoA   3 Carbon compound needed for the immediate sgtarting material for FA synthesis  
🗑
What cofactor is needed in all carboxylases?   biotin  
🗑
Fate of oxaloacetate from citrate lyase reaction   Oxaloacetate -> Malate -> Pyruvate  
🗑
Location of FA synthesis   Hepatic cytosol  
🗑
When is FA synthesis active   Fed state assuming excess calories present  
🗑
FA synthesis Starting material   NADPH Malonyl CoA Acetyl CoA  
🗑
FA Synthesis Products   NADP+ Palmitate  
🗑
Process of FA synthesis   Reduction of carbons/oxidation of NADPH (reverse B oxidation)  
🗑
Where do we get NADPH?   Pentose Phosphate Pathway  
🗑
Fatty Acid Synthase   large complex of enzymes that binds growing acyl chain and malony CoA in first round.  
🗑
Why is malonyl CoA used rather than acetyl coa?   allows regulation  
🗑
Fate of new synthesized FA   activated to fatty acyl CoA for TG synthesis and incorporated into VLDL  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
