Question

Malonyl coa is source of each two carbons added during cyclical fatty acid synthesis

Answer 1

Explanation:

Malonyl-CoA is formed by carboxylating acetyl-CoA using the enzyme acetyl-CoAcarboxylase. One molecule of acetyl-CoA joins with a molecule of bicarbonate, requiring energy rendered from ATP. Malonyl-CoA is utilised in fatty acid biosynthesis by the enzyme malonyl coenzyme A:acyl carrier protein transacylase (MCAT).
