What is another name for pentose pathway?
pentose phosphate pathway (also called phosphogluconate pathway, or hexose monophosphate shunt [HMP shunt])
Describe a pathway used for degradation of carbohydrates?
This is called the glycolysis pathway. It begins with glucose and ends with pyruvate before entering the Krebs cycle where ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is generated for energy.
CO2 fixed into four carbon compounds?
C4 pathways has enzymes that can fix CO2 into 4 Carbon compounds even when the CO2 is low and the O2 is high. Those 4 Carbon compounds are then transported to other cells where the CO2 is released and enters the Calvin Cycle.
The process of glycogen to glucose?
Glycogen is a highly branched polymeric structure containing glucose as the basic monomer. First individual glucose molecules are hydrolyzed from the chain, followed by the addition of a phosphate group at C-1. In the next step the phosphate is moved to the C-6 position to give glucose 6-phosphate, a cross road compound. Glucose-6-phosphate is the first step of the glycolysis pathway if glycogen is the carbohydrate source and further energy is needed. If energy is not immediately needed, the glucose-6-phosphate is converted to glucose for distribution in the blood to various cells such as brain cells.
What tissue does the pentose phosphate pathway occur in?
1. In the cytoplasm, and is found to be most active in the liver 2. Mammary gland 3. Adrenal cortex. It is absent in skeletal muscle tissue. 4. in plants, most steps take place in plastids.
Where does the pentose phosphate pathway occur?
The pentose phosphate pathway occurs in the cytosol of cells.
What has the author Terry Wood written?
Terry Wood has written: 'The pentose phosphate pathway' -- subject(s): Pentose phosphate pathway
What is the end product of the pentose phosphate pathway?
End product of Pentose Phosphate Pathway is NADPH and ribose-5-phosphate NADPH: for biosynthesis of lipid ribose-5-phosphate: building block for nucleic acid synthesis
What is another name for pentose pathway?
pentose phosphate pathway (also called phosphogluconate pathway, or hexose monophosphate shunt [HMP shunt])
In muscle, glucose-6-phosphate is a common intermediate among?
pentose phosphate pathway, glycogenesis, and glycolysis
In which pathway is the most NADH generated?
In the Krebs cycle, 10 NADH molecules are generated here :-)
What is D 6?
Glucose 6 phosphate is regenerated at the end of oxidative phase of pentose phosphate pathway- how it happens explain
What are the sources of NADPH required for fatty acid synthesis?
The Pentose Phosphate Pathway, in which Glucose-6-phosphate Dehydrogenase catalysizes the oxidation of Glucose-6-phosphate and NADP serves as the electron donor is a source of NADPH. The citrate-malate shuttle between the mitochondria and the citosol is an additional source.http://www.answers.com/pentose+phosphate+pathway
What key reducing agent is formed in the pentose phosphate pathway for glucose oxidation?
NADPH
When during cellular respiration is NADPH created?
The oxidative phase of the pentose phosphate pathway
What does the acronym G6PD stand for?
The acronym G6PD stands for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. It is sometimes referred to as G6PDH and is an enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway.
What has the author Mervi Toivari written?
Mervi Toivari has written: 'Engineering the pentose phosphate pathway of Saccharomyces cerevisiae for production of ethanol and xylitol' -- subject(s): Synthesis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Alcohol, Genetic engineering, Xylitol, Pentose phosphate pathway
