What is the goal of the pentose phosphate pathway, explain.

Biology
1 answer:
uranmaximum [27]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: Pentose phosphate pathway produces ribose-5-phosphate sugars that are used in the production of DNA and RNA molecules.

Explanation: Pentose phosphate pathway takes place in the cytosol like glycolysis, with its end products being ribose-5-phosphate sugars and NADH used in production of RNA and DNA.

Difference between these pathways are that the pentose phosphate is anabolic. It uses alot of energy, NADPH and ATP for building. Unlike glycolysis its primary function is not energy production, which on the other hand glycolysis is catabolic, primarily leading to the the production of energy.

How does the Sun heat the Earth?<br><br>Explain your answer in your own words.
iris [78.8K]

Explanation:

The sun heats the earth through radiation. Since there is no medium (like the gas in our atmosphere) in space, radiation is the primary way that heat travels in space. When the heat reaches the earth it warms the molecules of the atmosphere, and they warm other molecules and so on.

In simple staining with a basic dye, do the gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria differ in retaining color?
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

The above shows the procedures of the Gram's staining method, The result and important of colour in differentiating the bacteria. A little insight into staining endospore.

Explanation:

Stainings is a reagent or dye used to stain microscope specimens so as to make some structures visible.

Peptidogycan is a derivative polymer of glycan and peptides found in bacterial cell walls and varies in compositional concentration from species to species.

Cell wall- A thick, fairly rigid, layer formed around individual cells of bacteria, Archaea, fungi, plants, and algae (but not animals and other protists which generally have cell membranes without cell walls). The cell wall is external to the cell membrane and serves a structural function helping the cell maintain its shape and protecting the cell from damage.

There different types of staining techniques and classification based on the aim of the experiment and here is a few;

The etymology is from Gram + positive, is named after Dan ish bacteriologist Hans Christian Gram, who invented the Gram staining technique.

Used in bacteriology , bacteria that stains dark blue or violet after Gram staining, due to large quantities of peptidoglycan in the cell wall are gram positive.

And gram-negative bacteria is one that is not stained violet by Gram's method.

A spore is thick resistant particle produced by a bacterium or protist to survive in harsh or unfavorable conditions.

Spore staining (malachite green) however can be used to differentiate sporulating bacteria species.

The above shows the procedures of the Gram's staining method, The result and important of colour in differentiating the bacteria. A little insight into staining endospore.
