Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fatty acid elongation involves the addition of acetyl-CoA units, utilizes both NADH and NADPH for reduction steps, and uses CoA (in some systems, especially in eukaryotes) or ACP (acyl carrier protein, primarily in prokaryotic systems) as carriers. It does not require ATP and biotin; these are more closely associated with fatty acid synthesis initiation and carboxylation reactions, respectively, rather than the elongation process itself.
