Which of the following regarding cholesterol biosynthesis is FALSE? The condensation of isoprene is driven by hydrolysis of pyrophosphate. The mechanism of cholesterol biosynthesis is in this order: HMG-CoA reduces to mevalonate, which then undergoes isoprene activation, isomerization, and condensation to form farnesyl pyrophosphate. Geranyl pyrophosphate is condensed to make squalene. Hydroxylation of squalene requires NADPH + oxygen. Cyclization into the ring structures of cholesterol occurs in the ER. All of the above are true.
