How are double bonds added to fatty acid chains in humans?
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is involved in elongating and unsaturating fatty acids.
FAD is used as an oxidant to create the double bonds in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
Unsaturated fatty acids are not made by humans and are therefore essential fats.

answers Fatty acid desaturase enzymes use O2 and NADH to add double bonds to fatty acids.

uses RNA polymerase as well as helicase and primase. correct answers requires many more
transcription factors than prokaryotic transcription.

nuclear membrane
Golgi apparatus membrane
transport vesicle membrane
mitochondrial membrane correct answers Golgi apparatus membrane
