Nadph is essential for fatty acid synthesis and can be generated by which two enzymes?

1 answer:

6 0

The two enzymes that help in the generation of NADPH which is essential for fatty acid synthesis are the Glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase(G6PDH) and the Malic enzyme.

NADPH is predominantly produced by the pentose phosphate pathway, either directly by the malic enzyme as it oxidized malate to pyruvate or indirectly through the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase.

NADP+ is used to make NADPH. The pentose phosphate pathway, which is catalyzed in the first stage by glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), is the main source of NADPH in mammals and other non-photosynthetic organisms.

From glucose, the pentose phosphate pathway also generates pentose, a crucial component of NAD(P)H.

However, the Entner-Doudoroff route is also used by some bacteria, and NADPH generation is unaffected.

Explanation:

Genetic drift is changes in allele frequencies of a gene pool due to chance or random events. This can occur in large or small populations. Genetic drift causes gene pools of two isolated populations to become dissimilar as some alleles are lost and other are fixed.

Which statements about kinetic energy are true? It's always transformed into potential energy. It's always associated with motio

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

It's always associated with motion

It can be transferred from one object or body to another

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy due to motion of a body.

Moving objects possess kinetic energy which is resident in that body.
As with other forms of energy, it can be transferred from one body to another.
Kinetic energy can express itself as thermal energy, electrical energy, mechanical energy etc..
As a body moves, the kinetic energy is increases.

At what phase of meiosis is the number of chromosomes per cell doubled? What happens after that so that the number of chromosome

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

During the S phase at interphase in meiosis I

Explanation:

During the S (DNA synthesis) phase at interphase in meiosis I, DNA replication occurs here where the chromosomes are doubled. This phase does not occur in meiosis II. At the end of meiosis II, the chromosome number becomes halved in the sex cells. The cell just goes on to divide to ensure haploidy of chromosomes in the gametes such that the sperm from the male and egg from female are both haploid. Fertilization brings about diploidy of the zygote itself
