    This document contains questions about lipid metabolism, including fatty acid synthesis versus beta oxidation of fatty acids, the location and components of beta oxidation, the number of cycles required to break down a 14-carbon fatty acid via beta oxidation, the parent molecule and two classes of eicosanoids derived from it, the regulatory enzyme and location of cholesterol biosynthesis, and products synthesized from isopentenyl pyrophosphate and cholesterol.

    Lipid Metabolism
    1. Compare the process of fatty acid synthesis and Beta oxidation of fatty acids, include location, acyl
    carriers and electron acceptors/ donors. Summarise the reactions involved in each pathway

    2. β-oxidation takes place in


    a. mitochondria
    b. cytoplasm
    c. chloroplast
    d. nucleus

    3. A fatty acid with 14 carbon atoms will undergo how many cycles of beta oxidation
    a. 4
    b. 5
    c. 6
    d. 7

    4. What is the parent molecule for Eicosanoids and what two classes of eicosanoids can be made
    from oxygenation reactions of the parent structure?
    5. Identify the regulatory enzyme for cholesterol biosynthesis and the main location of
    biosynthesis.
    6. What products can be synthesized from isopentenyl pyrophosphate and cholesterol?
