For each acetyl-CoA that is incorporated into a growing fatty acid, what energy inputs are required, assuming that the growing fatty acid already contains at least 4 carbons?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct energy inputs required for each acetyl-CoA that is incorporated into a growing fatty acid chain (assuming the chain already contains at least 4 carbons) are 2 NADPH and 1 ATP. This reflects the reduction steps and the energy required for the bond formation process in fatty acid synthesis.
