What is the cellular location for fatty acid synthesis in animal cells?

Cytoplasm

Explanation:

Fatty acids refer to the long saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbon chain attached to the carboxylic acid. These fatty acids can be categorized into the triglycerides, phospholipids and cholesterol.

In animal cells, they are produced in the cytosol of the cell by the fatty acid synthase which adds two carbon units to Acetyl-CoA and NADPH.

The Acetyl CoA in a cell comes from the glycolysis of the glucose molecule and some amount from the Citric acid cycle also when citrate is removed from the mitochondria and transported to the cytosol.

Thus, Cytoplasm is the correct answer.

it also supports my hypothesis. if you rest first you can squeeze the clothespin more times. from the data i collected the average of the eight people concluded exercise makes your muscles more fatigued and less able to squeeze the clothespin compared to resting before squeezing.
