Answer to Problem 28P
The reactions H uses Phosphopentose isomerase enzyme.
Explanation of Solution
Ribulose-5-phosphate is isomerized to ribose-5-phosphate by phosphopentose isomerase. The enzyme, phosphopentose isomerase catalyze the conversion of a ketose sugar (Ribulose-5-phosphate ) to an aldose sugar (ribose-5-phosphate).
Therefore, the reaction H needs the enzyme phosphopentose isomerase.
(g)
Interpretation:
Ribose-5-phosphate should be identified.
Concept introduction:
Ribose-5-phosphate is the end product of the oxidative phase of pentose phosphate pathway.
Answer to Problem 28P
The compound I in the reaction is Ribose-5-phosphate.
Explanation of Solution
The ribulose-5-phosphate is obtained in pentose phosphate pathway when the ribose-5-phosphate is isomerized by phosphopentose isomerase.
Therefore, the compound I in the reaction is Ribose-5-phosphate.
