Question
Chapter 22, Problem 16P
Interpretation Introduction
To explain:
How glucose-6-phosphate can produce more NADPH in pentose phosphate pathway without producing ribose-5-phosphate significantly.
Introduction:
Glucose-6-phosphate converts in to ribulose-5-phospha by producing NADPH. Ribulose-5-phospha can again convert in to glucose-6-phosphate.

- Which statement does NOT describe a general function of the pentose phosphate pathway? Group of answer choices The pentose phosphate pathway is used to produce NADPH for reductive biosynthesis in adipocytes. The pentose phosphate pathway allows for the entry of dietary pentose intermediates into the glycolytic pathway. The pentose phosphate pathway produces reduced molecules whose electrons may be shuttled to the mitochondria for oxidative phosphorylation. The pentose phosphate pathway allows for the conversion of hexoses into pentoses that may be used as precursors in the synthesis of nucleosides.arrow_forwardFatty acid oxidation for energy yield occurs in the mitochondrial matrix, and for palmitate as one example, generates [ Select ] ["FADH2, NADH, and Acetyl-CoA", "FADH, GTP and NADPH"] , all of which can be converted to ATP (108 of them to be exact) via oxidative phosphorylation. This is a [ Select ] ["greater", "smaller"] yield of ATP per carbon atom compared to glucose. Ketogenesis is a process where acetyl-CoA (including that from breakdown of fatty acids) is converted to ketone bodies under conditions where carbohydrates are [ Select ] ["in excess", "limiting"] . Acetoacetate and D-beta-hydroxybutyrate are delivered from liver to the bloodstream where they provide energy for [ Select ] ["cardiac and skeletal muscle as well as brain", "synthesis of glycogen"]. [ Select ] ["Insulin", "Glucagon"] promotes ketogenesis by stimulating fatty acid export from adipose tissue.arrow_forwardImagine a triglyceride comprised of (3) saturated C12 fatty acids. Calculate the number of ATP generated from the complete oxidation of one of these 12-carbon fatty acids to CO2 and water in the liver. Assume that each NADH = 2.5 ATP and each FADH2 = ETC generates 1.5 ATP. Any step that yields pyrophosphate as a product should be treated as an input (i.e. net loss) of (2) ATP.arrow_forward

Make a theoretical calculation of how many ATP molecules can be formed from the degradation of an acetyl-CoA molecule to carbon dioxide and water if the entire proton gradient across the mitochondria's inner membrane can be used for ATP production and when the ATP synthase has 15 c-subunits.arrow_forward
