Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bactoprenol is a carrier molecule required for the transport of peptidoglycan subunits to the site of the bacterial cell wall. UDP-glucose is involved in the synthesis of glycogen while acyl carrier protein is involved in fatty acid synthesis. Malonyl-CoA is used in fatty acid biosynthesis as a substrate for fatty acid synthase.
