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.

Assuming the stomata are open to the same degree, the rate of transpiration should _____ on a rainy day compared with a sunny da
Allushta [10]

Answer:

decline: decrease

Explanation:

Transpiration is the loss of water from stomata by the process of evaporation. It occurs by the process of diffusion and is driven by the concentration gradient of water vapor. The higher the concentration gradient between air and leaf cells, the higher is the rate of diffusion of water.

On a sunny day, the rate of transpiration is higher since air is less humid and the concentration of water inside the leaf is higher. On the other hand, the air is more humid on a rainy day. The increased water vapor content of air reduces the concentration gradient between air and leaf cells. The reduced concentration gradient decreases the rate of transpiration.
