Answer:
a) to provide NADPH for reductive biosynthesis and for dealing with oxidative stress
d) to provide ribose-phosphate for nucleotide and nucleic acid biosynthesis
Explanation:
During the pentose phosphate pathway, glucose 6-phosphate is oxidized into pentose phosphates. This pathway uses NADP as an electron acceptor and reduces it into NADPH. The products of this pathway, the pentose phosphates are used by the cells to synthesize nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). The pentose phosphates are also used for the synthesis of nucleotides and coenzymes such as NADH, FADH2, etc.
These synthetic pathways are particularly occurring at a higher rate in the rapidly dividing cells such as the cells of bone marrow, skin. The NADPH formed during this pathway is used by cells as an electron donor for the reactions of reductive biosynthesis. Some of these pathways are the synthesis of fatty acids, cholesterol and steroid hormones. NADPH is also involved in scavenging reactive oxygen species such as oxygen radicals. These ROS are responsible for oxidative stress.
Explanation:
the moon does not have an atmosphere so light does not scatter therefore the moon looks black.
Answer:
Each time your heart beats, an electrical signal travels through the heart. An EKG can show if your heart is beating at a normal rate and strength. It also helps show the size and position of your heart's chambers. An abnormal EKG can be a sign of heart disease or damage.
I think the egg because it’s the start of their life cycle, or something. I don’t think the chicken came first bc the egg would be the baby and the chicken the adult.
The answer is C. Four genetically identical, diploid daughter cells.
