Ans.
Hormones are regulatory substances synthesized by various plants and animals and play role in proper growth, development, and maintain homeostasis. Hormones are released by signalling cells and show their actions after binding to specific receptors present on the surface or inside of the target cell.
Hormones, for which receptors are present inside the cells (in cytosol or nucleus) should be hydrophobic in nature. This is because plasma membrane is made up lipid molecules and small, hydrophobic, uncharged molecules can easily pass through this. For example, cortisol, estrogen, and progesterone hormones are lipid-derivatives and receptors for these hormones are present inside the cells.
Answer:
The fate of glucose-6-phosphate,glycolytic intermediates and pentose phosphate pathways are described below
Explanation:
Fate of Glucose -6-phosphate
Glucose-6-phosphate undergo dephosphorylation to form glucose when there is an increase demand of glucose in the body.
Glucose-6-phosphate enters into pentose phosphate pathway to synthesize ribose-5-phosphate which is used during denovo pathway of purine nucleotide biosynthesis.
Fate of glycolytic intermediates
Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is an important intermediate of glycolysis.The glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate act as a precursor during lipogenesis that deals with the biosynthesis of triacylglycerol.
Fate of pentose phosphate pathway intermediates
Ribose-5-phosphate and NADPH are the important intermediates of pentone phosphate pathway.
Ribose-5-phosphate act as a substrate molecule during the denovo biosynthesis pathway of purine nucleotides.
NADPH act as a reducing agent during fatty acid biosynthesis process.
