Biosynthesis and breakdown of glucose share many common enzymes and reactions, but this is not the case in the metabolism of fatty acids. Compare and contrast fatty acid biosynthesis vs. beta-oxidation (location, acyl group carriers, redox cofactors, hydroxyacyl stereochemistry, C2 unit donors/acceptors, etc.).
