These molecules are acted on by thiolase to yield acetyl-CoA in beta oxidation, whose product fuels the citric acid cycle and gluconeogenesis.
In plants and certain microorganisms, the glyoxylate cycle consumes these molecules to replenish the chemical intermediates succinate and malate. A mixed function oxidase acts on them in one pathway that ultimately yields a molecule with carboxylate groups on both sides. The endoplasmic reticulum is the site of elongation for these molecules, which are commonly notated using the delta and colon nomenclatures. They are transported into mitochondria by (*) carnitine acyltransferase from the cytosol, where their synthesis occurs on an ACP protein complex. These molecules are acted on by thiolase to yield acetyl-CoA in beta oxidation, whose product fuels the citric acid cycle and gluconeogenesis. Including arachidonic acid and palmitic acid, for 10 points, name these aliphatic carboxylic acids which compose triglycerides.
