Which of the Following is Not a Product of the Activation

Question

Which of the following is not a product of the activation of fatty acids?
A) A thioester
B) ADP
C) Pyrophosphate
D) Phosphate
E) All of these are products of the activation of a fatty acid.

Accepted Answer

The activation of fatty acids involves the addition of CoA to form a thioester. This reaction also produces AMP, and two molecules of inorganic phosphate (not pyrophosphate). Therefore, options A, C, and D are products of the activation of fatty acids. Option E is incorrect because option B (ADP) is not a product of the activation of fatty acids.
