Identify true statements about the synthesis of various lipids. ? The glycerophospholipid biosynthetic pathway provides precursors for the synthesis of triacylglycerols. ? Triacylglycerols are synthesized by adding prostaglandins to a steroid backbone. ? Glycerophospholipids may be synthesized from diacylglycerols. ? Triacylglycerols are synthesized by adding fatty acid groups to a glycerol backbone. ? The triacylglycerol biosynthetic pathway provides the precursors for the synthesis of glycerophospholipids. ?

Which of the following statements about triacylglycerols is/are true? Triacylglycerol synthesis cannot occur in liver cells. All of the statements are true. The three fatty tails in a triacylglycerol are usually identical. A triacylglycerol is not a polymer.

Which of the following statements about triacylglycerols is NOT true they are an ester of glycerol and three fatty acids. triacylglycerols that are oils contain mostly unsaturated fatty acids. they function as a storage form of lipid. they cannot be hydrolyzed.
Madhur L.
Which of the following statements is FALSE? Group of answer choices Palmitate is the end product of fatty acid synthesis. All of the enzyme activities required for fatty acid synthesis in mammals are contained in a single polypeptide chain. The condensation reaction in fatty acid synthesis is powered by the decarboxylation of malonyl CoA. Acetyl CoA carboxylase is inhibited by citrate Fatty acid synthase in mammals is active as a dimer. The fatty acid arachidonate is a precursor for signal molecules.
