What are the precursors for synthesis of the eiconsanoids?
The precursors for synthesis of eicosanoids are fatty acids derived from linolenic (omega-3) and linoleic (omega-6) acids. These fatty acids include eicosapentaenoic acid, eicosatetraenoic acid and dihomo gamma-linolenic acid.
What participates in lipid synthesis and synthesis of membrane or secreted proteins?
Lipid synthesis primarily involves enzymes located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). These enzymes include fatty acid synthase, which synthesizes fatty acids, and enzymes involved in glycerolipid and phospholipid synthesis. In addition, the synthesis of membrane or secreted proteins involves ribosomes attached to the ER, where these proteins are synthesized and processed before being transported to their target destinations.
What kind of a lipid forms when a glycerol combines with fatty acids through dehydration synthesis?
triglyceride
What kind of lipid forms when a glycerol combined with fatty acids through dehydration synthesis?
triglyceride
What kind of lipids forms when a glycerol combines with fatty acid thought dehydration synthesis?
lilbittybitch
Where does synthesis of fatty acids occur?
The synthesis of the fatty acids occurs in the cytosol.
What is the co enzyme required for fatty acid synthesis?
acetyl CoA or Acetyl Co-enzyme A is required for fatty acid synthesis
Where does lipid synthesis occurs in an animal cell?
Fatty acids synthesis starts with acetyl-CoA and builds up by the addition of two carbon units. The synthesis occurs in the cytoplasm in contrast to the degradation (oxidation), which occurs in the mitochondria. Many of the enzymes for the fatty acid synthesis are organized into a multienzyme complex called fatty acid synthetase. The major sites of fatty acid synthesis are adipose tissue and the liver
What compound is involved in the activation of acyl compounds in fatty acid synthesis?
In fatty acid synthesis, an acyl carrier protein (ACP) activates the acyl compounds.
What kind of relation exist between fatty acid and amino acid synthesis?
The liver combines fatty acids and amino acids into lipoproteins, which can be easily used by the various cells of the body.
What is lipid synthesis?
Lipid synthesis is a process that makes and dissolves lipids. It consists of 2 phases fatty synthesis and lipid assembly.
A dehydration synthesis reaction between glycerol and a single fatty acid would yield?
This reaction would yield a fatty acid glyceryl monoester, more commonly called a monoglyceride or monoacylglycerol.
What are the building blocks in the body's synthesis and elongation of fatty acids?
acetylCoA
What hormone decreases protein synthesis increase fatty acid release and stimulates glucose synthesis?
Growth Hormone
What are the precursors for synthesis of the eiconsanoids?
The precursors for synthesis of eicosanoids are fatty acids derived from linolenic (omega-3) and linoleic (omega-6) acids. These fatty acids include eicosapentaenoic acid, eicosatetraenoic acid and dihomo gamma-linolenic acid.
What is formed by the dehydra tion synthesis of three fatty acids and glycerol?
Dehydration synthesis is a generalized form for a condensation reaction. During a condensation reaction, glycerol and 3 fatty acid tails come together to form a triglyceride.
What kind of lipid form when a glycerol with fatty acids through dehydration synthesis?
triglyceride
