What is the role of citrate lyase in fatty acid synthesis?
I. It catalyzes the formation of acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetate from citrate and coenzyme A.
II. It converts ATP to ADP and phosphate.
III. It converts ADP to ATP.
IV. It catalyzes the formation of citrate and coenzyme A from acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetate.

Which statement about fatty acids is false?
In what order does fatty acid synthesis occur?
Where are triglycerides produced in the body and what hormone regulates their production?
I. In the adipose tissue and liver. Their production is regulated by insulin and glucagon.
II. In the blood and liver. Their production is regulated by epinephrine and antidiuretic hormone.
III. In the blood as very-low density lipoproteins and chylomicrons. Their production is regulated by epinephrine and growth hormone.
IV. In the muscle. Their production is regulated by growth hormone.
