Question

The sequence of action of following enzymes of plant fatty acid synthase complex is:
(A). $\beta$-Ketoacyl-ACP reductase
(B). $\beta$-Ketoacyl-ACP synthase
(C). $\beta$-Hydroxyacyl-ACP dehydratase
(D). Enoyl-ACP reductase
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. (A), (B), (C), (D).
• B. (B), (A), (C), (D).
• C. (A), (C), (D), (B).
• D. (D), (A), (B), (C).

Hint:

Remember the mnemonic C-R-D-R for fatty acid elongation: Condensation $\rightarrow$ Reduction $\rightarrow$ Dehydration $\rightarrow$ Reduction. This corresponds to Synthase $\rightarrow$ Reductase $\rightarrow$ Dehydratase $\rightarrow$ Reductase.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B
