How stupid am I ?? When we remove the FFA's , we have only left the FFA's connected to a glyc molecule. Right so far ? The next step we do with the single stage is, breaking the fatty acids of the glyc molecule, which produces FFA's. (Not) right so far ? Next we connect a meth. molecule on top of the FFA's. So why do we have to remove the FFA's at the first place ?
