QUESTION 4 The pentose phosphate pathway: Produces glucose from pyruvate. Involves carboxylation followed by decarboxylation of a metabolite. Produces heat through simultaneous activation of both catabolic and anabolic reactions. Produces NADPH for use in fatty acid synthesis. QUESTION 5 Which of the following is NOT produced during the oxidative phase of the pentose phosphate shunt? CO2 Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate NADPH Ribulose-5-Phosphate
The net equation for the oxidative reactions of the pentose phosphate pathway is: glucose-6-phosphate + 2 NADP+ + H2O -> ribulose-5-phosphate + 2 NADPH + CO2 + 2H+ Select true statements about the pentose phosphate pathway: Pentose phosphate pathway activity is high in rapidly dividing cells. Glucose-6-phosphate is reduced to ribulose-5-phosphate in this series of reactions. Products of the pentose phosphate pathway contribute to reductive biosynthesis reactions. Glucose-6-phosphate is common to glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway.
