Vedclass · Answer

(A) Fatty acids are carboxylic acids with a long aliphatic chain,which is either saturated or unsaturated. In biological systems,these long chains are synthesized through the polymerization of $2$-carbon units (acetyl groups) derived from acetyl-CoA. This process is known as fatty acid synthesis or lipogenesis,where carbon components are linked together to form the long hydrocarbon tail.
