﻿Fatty acid synthesis begins with a preparatory step in which is transferred from to the

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ Fatty acid synthesis begins with a preparatory step in which an acetyl group is transferred from acetyl-CoA to the acyl carrier protein (ACP). ⚹ ∻Solution∻ ‖ a ⋮ The initial step in fatty acid synthesis involves the transfer of an acetyl group from acetyl-CoA to ACP. This is catalyzed by the enzyme acetyl-CoA-ACP transacylase. ‖ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Acetyl-CoA to ACP Transfer ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ The preparatory step for fatty acid synthesis involves the transfer of an acetyl group from acetyl-CoA to ACP, which is essential for the elongation of the fatty acid chain. ⚹◊What is the key molecule transferred in the preparatory step of fatty acid synthesis in Biology?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
