Chapter 12, Problem 27P
Interpretation Introduction

(a) Interpretation:

A balanced chemical equation for the pentose phosphate pathway where ribose -5-phosphate synthesis is maximized should be written.

Concept introduction:

Pentose phosphate pathway is metabolic pathway which is parallel to the glycolysis process. It results in generation of NADPH and pentoses along with ribose 5-phosphate. The ribose 5-phosphate formed is a precursor for the nucleotide synthesis.

Interpretation Introduction

(b) Interpretation:

A balanced chemical equation for the pentose phosphate pathway where NADPH production is maximized, by conversion of the sugar phosphate products to glucose-6-phosphate for repeated operations of the pathway should be written.

Concept introduction:

Pentose phosphate pathway is metabolic pathway which is parallel to the glycolysis process. It results in generation of NADPH and pentoses along with ribose 5-phosphate. The ribose 5-phosphate formed is a precursor for the nucleotide synthesis.
