... The Biological Origin of Fatty Acids. We have mentioned that fatty acids found as acyl groups in fats, oils, and waxes, have an even number of C atoms because they form from C2 acyl groups of acetyl-CoA (CH3-C(=O)-SCoA). We will explore the reactions and intermediates of these biosynthetic pathways ...

Fatty acid synthesis
Fatty acid synthesis is the creation of fatty acids from acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA precursors through action of enzymes called fatty acid synthases. It is an important part of the lipogenesis process, which – together with glycolysis – functions to create fats from blood sugar in living organisms.
