Fatty acid biosynthesis occurs through a series of reactions involving fatty acid synthase (FAS), a polypeptide multienzyme complex. The result of this synthesis is a saturated fatty acid with up to 16 carbon atoms (palmitic acid). Longer fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids result from modifications to fatty acids produced by FAS activity. What saturated fatty acid gives rise to myristoleic acid, CH3(CH2)3CH=CH(CH2)7COOH?

In which direction will the following reaction go if the standard reduction potentials are 0.80 v for ag/ag+ and –0.44 v for fe/fe2+? ag+ + fe → ag + fe2+ a.)forward b.)the reaction cannot occur. c.) not enough information is given. d.) reverse

Why do you suppose the structural polysaccharide cellulose does not contain branches? why do you suppose the structural polysaccharide cellulose does not contain branches? branches in the molecule would generate side chains that would almost certainly make it difficult to pack the cellulose molecules into globules, thereby decreasing the flexibility and strength of the globules. branches in the molecule would generate side chains that would almost certainly make it difficult to pack the cellulose molecules into microfibrils, thereby increasing the rigidity and strength of the microfibrils. branches in the molecule would generate side chains that would almost certainly make it difficult to pack the cellulose molecules into globules, thereby increasing the flexibility and strength of the globules. branches in the molecule would generate side chains that would almost certainly make it difficult to pack the cellulose molecules into microfibrils, thereby decreasing the rigidity and strength of the microfibrils.

Hey guys so i need to know what is _nh3+> nh4oh ~chemistry~
