V.Energy is released in the process.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lipogenesis involves acyl carrier proteins (II), uses NADPH as a coenzyme (III), and increases the molecule in length by two carbons each time a new acetyl-CoA is added (IV). It does not occur in the mitochondria but in the cytoplasm, and it requires, rather than releases, energy.
