Answer:

99%

Explanation:

So, about 99% of all organisms that have ever existed on this planet are extinct today. While that number may sound startling, the reason is that, well, life on Earth has existed for about three and a half billion years, so things are going to change over time. A way to remember how humans have influenced biodiversity laws which can actually lead over time to extinction, the complete removal of the species on the planet, is this mnemonic device, HIPPOC. This stands for habitat alteration, invasive species, pollution, population growth meaning human population growth, overexploitation, and climate change.

The NADPH generated by the pentose phosphate pathway primarily serves as a
Igoryamba

Answer:

Option-A

Explanation:

Pentose phosphate pathway is the alternative pathway taking place in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes parallel to the glycolysis.

The pentose phosphate pathway forms the electron carriers called NADPH and the ribose-5 phosphate.

The NADPH is formed in large amounts through this pathway which contains a very high amount of energy. NADPH can donate its hydride ions, therefore, it can be involved in the reaction where it can donate energy in the form of hydrogen and electron.

The NADPH is therefore involved in the formation of reducing biosynthetic pathways like fatty acid synthesis, cholesterol synthesis, and bile acid synthesis.

Thus, Option-A is the correct answer.
