Respuesta :

Answer:

true

Explanation:

CHOLINE

  • predominates pathways in mammalian
  • pathway involves 1,2 -diacylglycerol
  • pathway requires phosphorylation by CTP

PHOSPHATIDYLETHANOLAMINE

  • possible pathway in mamalian liver
  • pathway requires S-sdenosylmethionine as the source of methyl groups.
