by a multienzyme complex, fatty acid synthase. Although the details of enzyme structure differ in
prokaryotes such as Escherichia coli and in eukaryotes, the four-step process of fatty acid synthesis is the same in all organisms.
or incorporation into the phospholipid components of membranes. Triacylglycerols and glycerophospholipids (甘油磷脂)are Synthesized
from the same precursors Triacylglycerols:fatty acid esters of glycerol,provide stored energy
