Abstract
Fatty acid synthesis is the creation of fatty acids from acetyl-CoA and NADPH by enzymes called fatty acid synthases. This process takes place in the cell cytoplasm. Most of the acetyl-CoA converted to fatty acids is obtained from carbohydrates through the glycolytic pathway. The glycolytic pathway also provides glycerol (via ester bonds), which three fatty acids can combine to form triglycerides (also called "triacylglycerols"). the end product of the lipogenic process. A phospholipid is formed only when two fatty acids combine with glycerol and the third alcohol group is phosphorylated with a group such as phosphatidylcholine. Phospholipids make up cell membranes and intracellular organelles (for example, the cell nucleus, as well as Fat is one of the main components of animal, plant and microorganism cells. These can be radicals of the same or different fatty acids. Among the saturated fatty acids in the fat molecule are stearin and palmitin oleic, linoleic, and linoleic acids are more common among unsaturated fatty acids depends on the ratio of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids.Fat is insoluble in water, it forms the main part of the lipid bilayers surrounding the organic mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, etc.
