Difference between Arachidonic acid and Fatty acid synthesis

Arachidonic acid vs. Fatty acid synthesis

Arachidonic acid (AA, sometimes ARA) is a polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acid 20:4(ω-6). Fatty acid synthesis is the creation of fatty acids from acetyl-CoA and NADPH through the action of enzymes called fatty acid synthases.

Similarities between Arachidonic acid and Fatty acid synthesis

Arachidonic acid and Fatty acid synthesis have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Cell (biology), Cell membrane, Essential fatty acid, Fatty acid, Leucine, Linoleic acid, Liver, Phosphatidylcholine, Phospholipid, Prostaglandin.

Cell (biology)

The cell (from Latin cella, meaning "small room") is the basic structural, functional, and biological unit of all known living organisms.

Cell membrane

The cell membrane (also known as the plasma membrane or cytoplasmic membrane, and historically referred to as the plasmalemma) is a biological membrane that separates the interior of all cells from the outside environment (the extracellular space).

Essential fatty acid

Essential fatty acids, or EFAs, are fatty acids that humans and other animals must ingest because the body requires them for good health but cannot synthesize them.

Fatty acid

In chemistry, particularly in biochemistry, a fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with a long aliphatic chain, which is either saturated or unsaturated.
