Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: To indicate whether the statement “the initial reactant for the PPP is ribose” relating to the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) is true or false.
Concept introduction: The pentose phosphate pathway is defined as the
Pentose phosphate pathway is a two-stage metabolic pathway. The first stage of phosphate pentose pathway is an oxidative stage and the second stage is a non-oxidative stage.
A reactant is defined as the substance that is initially present in the
(b)
Interpretation: To indicate whether the statement “the final products of the PPP include two glycolysis intermediates” relating to the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) is true or false.
Concept introduction: The pentose phosphate pathway is defined as the metabolic pathway in which NADPH,
Pentose phosphate pathway is a two-stage metabolic pathway. The first stage of phosphate pentose pathway is an oxidative stage and the second stage is a non-oxidative stage.
In the glycolysis metabolic pathway, a glucose molecule is converted to two pyruvate molecules. ATP molecules and NADH-reduced coenzymes are produced along with pyruvate.
An intermediate is defined as the transient species that is formed from the reactants in the preceding step and gets consumed in the subsequent steps to generate the products. An intermediate is formed within a multi-step reaction.
(c)
Interpretation: To indicate whether the statement “
Concept introduction: The pentose phosphate pathway is defined as the metabolic pathway in which NADPH,
Pentose phosphate pathway is a two-stage metabolic pathway. The first stage of phosphate pentose pathway is an oxidative stage and the second stage is a non-oxidative stage.
A product is defined as the substance that is formed after the completion of a chemical reaction.
(d)
Interpretation: To indicate whether the statement “in the first step of the second stage of the PPP
Concept introduction: The pentose phosphate pathway is defined as the metabolic pathway in which NADPH,
Pentose phosphate pathway is a two-stage metabolic pathway. The first stage of phosphate pentose pathway is an oxidative stage and the second stage is a non-oxidative stage.

HOOC H₂NIC H 川 CH3 CH,CH3 Draw the Newman projection in staggered conformation for isoleucine by viewing the molecule along the C-2-C-3 bond. 1. Edit the Newman projection on the canvas. 2. Replace the appropriate hydrogens with the appropriate -CH3 or other groups. 3. If you need to start over, Undo or choose a Newman projection from the Templates toolbar (bottom). Important: Never delete the hydrogen atoms or bonds directly attached to the template, and do not move them by dragging or dropping them. That will break the projections structures. Only replace them! ▸ View Available Hint(s) 0 2 H± 3D EXP. L ד י CONT. 2 H 0 N оarrow_forward
