Question

Map sapling earning The net equation for the oxidative reactions of the pentose phosphate pathway is glucose-6- phosphate+ 2NADP H2O ribulose-5- phosphate 2NADPH CO2 2H Determine which of the following statements about the pentose phosphate pathway are true. The pentose phosphate pathway contributes to nucleotide synthesis Carbon atoms from the pentose sugar products may enter the glycolytic pathway. M Glucose is a precursor of the pentose phosphate pathway. V Glucose-6-phosphate is reduced to ribulose-5-phosphate in this series of reactions. Previous Give Up & View Solution Check Answer Next Exit Hint

Explanation / Answer

1. correct: The pentose pathway contributes to nucleotides synthesis ( ribose-5-phosphate is used)

2. Correct:

3. wrong: Glucose is not the precursor but Glucose 6 phosphate

4. wrong: Glucose 6 phosphate is oxidized ( not reduced)
