Drop-down options:

a) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

b) no carbon label, the methyl carbon labeled, or the carbonyl carbon labeled

c) carbon-1, carbon-2, or neither carbon-1 carbon-2

d) will not be incorporated, will be incorporated at every even-numbered carbon, or will be incorporated at every odd-numbered carbon

If glucose labeled at carbon-1 is fed into the citrate-malate-pyruvate shuttle, which carbons of the pyruvate, acetyl-CoA, and citrate would you expect to be
labeled? Would you expect the label to be incorporated into palmitic acid?
Pyruvate will have a label at carbon
Acetyl-CoA will have
Citrate immediately exported to the cytosol will have a label at
The label
O in palmitic acid.
