Are these the same coenzymes necessary for fatty acid synthesis?
Describe the role of acetyl-CoA, acyl carrier protein (ACP), and fatty acid synthase in fatty acid synthesis

17) The reduced cofactor used in fatty acid synthesis is NADPH. 18) All of the fatty acid synthase reactions are carried out on substrates attached to acyl carrier protein via a thioester linkage. 19) Elongation of fatty acids from palmitate occurs only in the mitochondrion. (True/False) 22) HMG-CoA reductase, the major control point of cholesterol biosynthesis, is regulated by transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms mediated by Insig proteins bound in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. (True/False)
