What changes in fatty acid metabolism would result from a mutation in the muscle carnitine acyltransferase i in which the mutant protein has lost its affinity for malonyl-coa but not its catalytic activity?

The metabolism of a fatty acid comprises catabolic procedures, which produce energy and anabolic procedures that generate biologically essential molecules. The fatty acids belong to a family of molecules categorized within the lipid macronutrient class. One function of fatty acids in animal metabolism is the production of energy in the form of ATP.

The correct answer of the question is option B, that is, fatty acid synthesis in the cytosol and oxidation of fatty acid in the mitochondria could take place simultaneously because due to mutation, malonyl-CoA would no longer prevent the admittance of fatty acid into the mitochondria and would undergo the process of beta-oxidation.

tsd is temerature dependent sex determination.

tsd: it is a type of environmental sex determination in which the temperature experienced during embryonic/ larval development (ambient temperature for development) determine the sex of the offspring.

crocodile displays the tsd where the ambient temperature of the developing egg determines the individual's sex. for example in the american alligator's eggs, incubation at 33 ºc produces mostly males, while incubation at 30 ºc produces mostly females. so if the american alligator's egg will get the ambient temperature (33 degree celcius)during embryonic development from egg, the offspring will be male and same for the female sex determination.

the solute can move "downhill," from regions of higher to lower concentration, relying on the specificity of the protein carrier to pass through the membrane. this process is called passive transport or facilitated diffusion, and does not require energy.
