Upload your answers to these questions. a.) Draw out the synthesis of the ketone body, acetoacetate, which forms in the liver under fasting conditions. It is formed in three steps. (4 pts.) b) For the the last step in the synthesis of acetoacetate, include the arrow pushing mechanism for the reaction and identify which reaction in glycolysis it is parallel to. (3 pts.) c.) Draw out the reactions that converts acetoacetate into the other two ketone bodies. Show the structures the three ketone bodies and label each with an acceptable name. (2 pts.) d.) Ketone bodies are exported from the liver and utilized as an energy source by the extra-hepatic tissues. The brain, which normally utilizes glucose as its energy source, can, under fasting conditions, partially convert to using ketone bodies over the course of a few days. Show how a molecule of the ketone body,
