Which оf the fоllоwing lаcking nutrients is а concern for Kirа since she is a childbearing age female?

Uplоаd yоur аnswers tо these questions. Drаw out the reaction that releases acetyl-CoA in the cytosol for fatty acid synthesis. Include substrate and product structures and give the name of the enzyme that catalyzes this reaction and indicate any necessary cofactors or co-reactants.  (2 pts.) Before acetyl-CoA can be utilized for fatty acid biosynthesis, it is “activated” by conversion to malonyl-CoA. Draw the structure of this "activated" acetyl-CoA compound. Give the name of the enzyme that catalyzes this reaction and the name of the required cofactor.  (2 pts.) Draw out the stepwise mechanism for the addition of CO2 to propionyl CoA. (4 pts.) The first round of fatty acid biosynthesis requires two building blocks or reactants attached to fatty acid synthase at the priming and the ACP sites. Beginning with these two building blocks, draw out the mechanistic steps (arrow pushing) involved in the synthesis of acetoacetate (4C) attached to the ACP. (3 pts.) Fatty acid biosynthesis requires a reducing agent. What is the principal reducing agent for fatty acid biosynthesis and what is the name of the principle pathway that produces this reducing agent?  (2 pts.) Reducing agent:                                              Pathway (this was in the homework):
