Fatty acid biosynthesis occurs through a series of reactions involving fatty acid synthase (FAS), a polypeptide multienzyme comp
lex. The result of this synthesis is a saturated fatty acid with up to 16 carbon atoms (palmitic acid). Longer fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids result from modifications to fatty acids produced by FAS activity.What saturated fatty acid gives rise to myristoleic acid, CH3(CH2)3CH=CH(CH2)7COOH? (Complete the reaction by modifying the reactant.)

Answer:
The equation for the rate of this reaction is R = [NO] + {O2}
Explanation:
The rate-determining step of a reaction is the slowest step of a chemical reaction which determines the rate (speed) at which the overall reaction would take place.
Reaction mechanism:
The slow and fast reactions both have NO3 which is cancelled out on both sides, in order to get the overall reaction.
The rate law for this reaction would be that for the rate determining step:
R = [NO] + {O2}
Answer:
Avogadro’s number was calculated by determining the number of atoms in 12.00 g of carbon-12.
Explanation:
The number of particles presents in one mole of a substance is known as Avogadro's number.
Avogadro's number is atoms or molecules or ions or particles present in one mole of a substance. It is denoted by the symbol
or
. It is a dimensionless quantity.
Avogadro's number was proposed by Jean Perrin but named in the honor of italian scientist Amedeo Avogadro.
Avogadro's number is the number of atoms present in 12 grams of carbon-12.
