Atty acid synthesis begins with a preparatory step in which ___ is transferred from ___ to the ___. However, it cannot pass through the membrane, so it is transported as ___, which is cleaved to ___ to ___.

acetyl coA

mitochondria

cytoplasm

citrate

acetyl CoA

oxaloacetate

Explanation:

The step by step fatty acid synthesis involve the following -  

a)The first step is the carboxylation of cytosolic acetyl-CoA by by acetyl CoA carboxylase with in the cytosol or cytoplasm of the cell. The cytosolic acetyl-CoA is from pyruvate in mitochondria which are not permeable to acetyl CoA

b)Formation of multienzyme complex which link intermediates to acyl carrier protein.

c)NADPH is used to acetyl-CoA through series of condensation, reduction and dehydration reaction

d)Synthesis of malonyl-CoA

Hence, the correct options are

acetyl coA

mitochondria

cytoplasm

citrate

acetyl CoA

oxaloacetate
