The pathways of fatty acid synthesis and breakdown are similar in that they bothGroup of answer choicesoccur in the same place in a cellinvolve Acetyl CoAinvolve Malonyl CoAare made of the same steps, just occurring in opposite directionsinvolve NADPH

Group of answer choicesThe molecule is produced in a carboxylation reaction catalyzed by acetyl CoA carboxylase.The molecule is used in the production of fatty acids by fatty acid synthase.The molecule would likely be produced after eating a meal.The molecule slows the carnitine shuttle by directly inhibiting the translocase activity.ATP is required for the formation of the molecule.
