The synthesis of the fatty acids occurs in the cytosol.
acetylCoA
triglyceride
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.
triglyceride (glyceryl tristearate - C57H110O6)
1 glycerol and 3 fatty acids so the monomers basically are glycerol and fatty acids
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.
