Which of the following statements is FALSE regarding fatty acid metabolism
a. NADPH is generated by the transport cycle which delivers acetyl CoA to the cytoplasm and also the pentose phosphate pathway.
b. Fatty acid synthesis is controlled by phosphorylation / dephosphorylation of acetyl CoA carboxylase.
c. Fatty acid synthase in animals is a multi-domain enzyme that catalyzes the 4 repeating steps of fatty acid synthesis and will cleave the resulting fat from the acyl carrier protein.
d. Beta-oxidation occurs in the mitochondria.
e. Fatty acid synthesis involves repetition of the following reactions: oxidation, hydration, oxidation, & thiolysis.
f. Carnitine is required for transport of Acetyl CoA from the cytoplasm to the mitochondria.
g. Oxidation of fatty acids requires an expenditure of 2 ATP before any energy is recovered.
I’m pretty sure C-E is correct but other than that I’m stumped. Please help. Thanks.
f. Carnitine is required for transport of Acetyl CoA from the cytoplasm to the mitochondria.
