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
Substrate-level phosphorylation occurs within a metabolic pathway where sufficient energy is released by a given chemical reaction to drive the synthesis of ATP from ADP and phosphate Substrate-level?
both glycolysis and the Krebs cycle
Which major group of rocks are involved in Pathway 1?
sedimentary
How many pathway does a series circuit have?
Only one path
Which is not a pathway by which plants obtain nitrogen in a usable form?
photosynthesis
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 pathway for oxidation of products of glucose and fatty acids catabolism?
The common pathway for oxidation of products of glucose and fatty acids catabolism is referred to as the b-oxidation pathway.
In muscle, glucose-6-phosphate is a common intermediate among?
pentose phosphate pathway, glycogenesis, and glycolysis
What is D 6?
Glucose 6 phosphate is regenerated at the end of oxidative phase of pentose phosphate pathway- how it happens explain
Which is NOT a pathway in the oxidation of glucose?
gluconeogenisis. what is part of it: Glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and the ETC and oxidative phosphorylation.
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.
Where does the pentose phosphate pathway occur?
The pentose phosphate pathway occurs in the cytosol of cells.
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 has the author Terry Wood written?

What is G6PD?
G6PD is an enzyme of the hexose monophosphate (HMP) shunt pathway, which metabolizes 5% to 10% of the glucose used by red blood cells (RBC). It catalyzes oxidation of glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) to 6-phosphogluconolactone with simultaneous reduction of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) to reduced NADP (NADPH). The latter is an important reducing compound for conversion of oxidized glutathione (GSSG) to glutathione (GSH) which protects red cells against free radical (eg, superoxide anion) oxidative injury. Individuals with G6PD deficiency, especially when exposed tocontraindicated drugs and foods, are unable to maintain adequate levels of reduced glutathione in their RBCs leading to oxidation of hemoglobin sulfhydryl groups.Hemoglobin precipitates within RBCs, forming Heinz bodies. These membrane-bound inclusions lead to mechanical trapping of affected red cells in splenic capillaries resulting in hemolysis.Both intravascular and extravascular hemolysis occurs in these patients. If these contraindicated substances are strictly avoided, a person with G6PD can live a long healthy life.This enzymopathy affects 10% of the population, many of which don't know they have it, or have been misdiagnosed.(This information was copied with permission from g6pddeficiency.org.)
What is another name for pentose pathway?
pentose phosphate pathway (also called phosphogluconate pathway, or hexose monophosphate shunt [HMP shunt])
