Question

Lipogenesis takes place primarily in the ______________ tissue; and beta-oxidation primarily in the mitochondria ______________ cells.

Answer 1

Lipogenesis takes place primarily in liver cells, but also in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue.It takes place in the cytoplasm of your fat cells and liver cells.  Beta-oxidation is primarily done in the Mitochondrial Matrix. Once the Acyl-carnitine comes into the mitchondrial matrix, CPT-2 enzyme takes the carnitine off and re-attaches to a CoA group,.

Answer 2

Lipogenesis takes place primarily in the adipose tissue and beta-oxidation primarily in the mitochondria of the eukaryotic cells

Explanation:

Lipogenesis is a process of synthesizing the fatty acids and triglycerides of the body through the cells in the body, this involves many factors that is responsible for synthesis, the fatty acid synthesis and the cholesterol biosynthesis of the body mostly takes place in the liver cells . Fats and lipids are required for the body for synthesis of cell membrane and hormone synthesis.
