This molecule is produced in the cytoplasm by ATP citrate lyase before being added to the growingchain in fatty acid synthesis.
This molecule is produced in the cytoplasm by ATP citrate lyase before being added to the growingchain in fatty acid synthesis. In plants, this molecule can be converted into succinate via the glyoxylatecycle. When too much of this molecule is release into the bloodstream, it forms ketone bodies and can leadto ketosis. That can result from this molecule's release during beta oxidation. The enzyme dihydrolipoyldehydrogenase creates this molecule as a product. This molecule and a similar one are combined to formmevalonate to begin cholesterol synthesis. A dehydrogenase converts a precursor into this molecule beforeit enters the Krebs cycle. For 10 points, name this molecule, which is converted from pyruvate duringcellular respiration.
