Suppose a sample of acetyl-CoA labeled at the carbonyl carbon with the radioisotope 14 C is introduced

Question:

Suppose a sample of acetyl-CoA labeled at the carbonyl carbon with the radioisotope 14C is introduced into the fatty-acid synthase system, and palmitic acid (the 16-carbon fatty acid; Eq. 22.76) is isolated. Which carbons of palmitic acid should be radiolabeled?O  HC acetyl-CoA (carbonyl 14C-labeled) SCOAACP palmitate (conjugate-base anion of palmitic acid) + HO + HS-ACP + HO (22.76)
