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.

Delicious77 [7]

White Blood Cells (WBC), produced by the stem cells found in the bone marrow, manufacture antibodies used to counter the effects of the antigens.

The White Blood Cells are known to provide immunity to the body against foreign bodies like bacteria, virus, proteins, etc. The lymphocyte cells, namely, the B-cells and T-cells are the two key cells that make antibodies for various antigens and kill or lyse the foreign body by recognising the antibiotic marker attach to them.

Describe the difference between the lytic cycle and lysogeny when bacteriophage infection occurs.

Shkiper50 [21]

Both are methods of viral multiplication inside the host cell.
Lytic cycle (which is more common) includes steps like:
1. Infection of the host cell-virus attaches to the receptor of the host cell, penetrates it and releases its genetic material into the host cell.
2. Virus Multiplication-Virus incorporated its genetic material into the host’s and uses its metabolism to multiply. Viral genetic material replicates separately from the host DNA.
3. Cell Destruction- Virus releases an enzyme that breaks the cell wall from within, thus destructing the host cell.
Lysogenic cycle also includes steps of infection, penetration and incorporation of the genetic material. But, after the virus integrates its genetic material it becomes dormant, letting the host multiple and continue its normal activities. Viral genetic material replicates within the host DNA during the host cell's division, so the daughter host cells are infected too. At some point, the virus is triggered, it multiplies and ultimately, destroys the host cells.

The answer should be $X^{A} Y^{A}$

Since the pedigree has two different letters, it will have one letter of each, but the DNA will still be A.
