Fatty acids are activated to acyl-CoAs and the acyl group is further transferred to carnitine because:

#Unit 1. Molecules and their Interaction Relevant to Biology
  1. acyl-carnitines readily cross the mitochondrial inner membrane, but acyl-CoAs do not.

  2. acyl-CoAs easily cross the mitochondrial membrane, but the fatty acids themselves will not.

  3. carnitine is required to oxidize NAD+ to NADH.

  4. fatty acids cannot be oxidized by FAD unless they are in the acyl-carnitine form.

Cell walls commonly are classified into two major types. This classification is based not on structural or biochemical differences;
A) primary walls and
B) secondary walls
i) walls formed during cell growth
ii) walls that are formed after cell enlargement stops
iii) multilayered walls that are strengthened and waterproofed by lignin
iv) Usually they are thin and simple, but sometimes may be thick and multilayered, such as those found in collenchyma or in the epidermis
v) highly specialized in structure and composition, reflecting the differentiated state of the cell
Which of the following correctly represents features of primary and secondary walls?

Cellulose microfibrils have an ordered structure and are synthesized at the plasma membrane, given characteristics of microfibrils;
a) Each microfibril is composed of an estimated 18 parallel chains of (1,4)-linked β-D-glucose chains tightly bonded to each other to form a crystalline microfibril
b) Microfibrils have hydrophilic surfaces, populated by polar –OH groups extending from the plane of the sugar rings
c) Microfibrils have hydrophobic surfaces, populated by nonpolar C–H groups populating the sides of stacked glucose chains
 d) microfibril important for enzymatic attack by microbial cellulases, which dock onto the hydrophobic surface and remove one glucan chain at a time
Which of the following from given characteristics of microfibrils is incorrect?
