Question
In the synthesis of triglycerides, the third fatty acid (at C-3 of the glycerol backbone) A is added by displacing the phosphate group of phosphatidate. B is added to diacylglycerol after removal of the phosphate group from phosphatidate. C is added to a CDP-diacylglycerol. D is labeled with CDP prior to addition to phosphatidate. In the synthesis of triglycerides, the third fatty acid (at C-3 of the glycerol backbone) A is added by displacing the phosphate group of phosphatidate. B is added to diacylglycerol after removal of the phosphate group from phosphatidate. C is added to a CDP-diacylglycerol. D is labeled with CDP prior to addition to phosphatidate.Explanation / Answer
The answer is option (B) is added to diacylglycerol after removal of the phosphate group from phosphatidate.
