What is a pentose?
Pentose is a five carbon sugar. They make up the sugars that form DNA and RNA.
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.
Does ATP contain a phosphate atom?
ATP = Adenosine triphosphate, it contains 3 phosphate groups, the structure of this molecule consists of a purine base (adenine) attached to the carbon atom of a pentose sugar (ribose). The 3 phosphate groups are attached to another carbon atom of the pentose sugar.
What test is specific for pentose?
Aniline acetate test
What is the difference between ribose and ribulose?
Ribose and ribulose both are pentose sugars that have chemical formula C5H10O5. The difference however lies in the spatial arrangement of molecules in the space. While Ribose is an aldo-pentose sugar that has got an aldehyde group, Ribulose is Keto-pentose sugar that has got ketone group.
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 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 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
In muscle, glucose-6-phosphate is a common intermediate among?
pentose phosphate pathway, glycogenesis, and glycolysis
Another name for anabolic pathway is?
biosynthetic
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 is the common name of CHOH?
Pentose
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.
