During fatty acid synthesis, acetyl and malonyl (carboxylated acetyl) groups are transferred from CoA to the Acyl Carrier Protein (ACP), which attaches them to fatty acid synthase. Which of the following is not a step catalyzed by fatty acid synthase during fatty acid synthesis? Reduction of a double bond to a single bond Dehydration of hydroxyl group to a double bond Condensation of an acyl-ACP and malonyl-ACP Reduction of the β-carbonyl to a hydroxyl group Acetyl CoA formation from the cleavage of citrate
