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.

Sphinxa [80]

Options for the question have not been given. They are as follows:

type of soil

type of plants

exposure to sunlight

method for measuring the growth

Answer:

exposure to sunlight

Explanation:

A scientific experiment has an experimental group and a control group. Control group is included to omit any error in results due to the factors other than the variable factor. Experimental group is the one exposed to different levels of the variable factor.

Here, Carlo wants to determine the the effect of day length on plants' growth. The test variable here is thus the duration of sunlight. In experimental group, this duration will be changed to determine its effect. In control group it will be kept constant so that results from other factors can be excluded from the observed experimental result.

NARA [144]

Answer: Peroxisomes

Explanation:

These are micro body which is found virtually in all the eukaryotic cells. They are involved in the catabolism of long chain and short chain fatty acid.

They generate the highly reactive oxygen species and it is broken down here only.These molecules are hydrogen peroxide and they are converted into water molecules.

This organelle is known as peroxisomes.

Answer:

Ion i think

Explanation:

I think ion's contain more negative energy from electrons and since it's -18 and 9+ it would be -9 if u add them up
