The pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) is localized to the cytosol.

Chemistry
1 answer:
DIA [1.3K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: The pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) is localized to the cytosol because fatty acid synthesis uses the NADPH generated by the PPP.

Explanation:

The pentose phosphate pathway is mainly catabolic and provides an alternative glucose oxidizing pathway for the generation of NADPH that is required for reductive biosynthetic reactions such as those of cholesterol biosynthesis, bile acid synthesis, steroid hormone biosynthesis, and fatty acid synthesis.

Fatty acid biosynthesis occurs in the cytosol and requires the reducing equivalent NADPH in large amounts. <em>The main source of generating NADPH in animal cells, the pentose phosphate pathway is therefore, localized in the cytosol in order to furnish a strongly reducing environment for fatty acid biosynthesis to proceed.</em>

Calculate the number of miles of magnesium,chlorine, and oxygen atoms in 5.00 moles of magnesium perchlorate
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

5.00 mol Mg

10.0 mol Cl

40.0 mol O

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Moles of Mg(ClO₄)₂: 5.00 mol

Step 2: Calculate the number of moles of Mg

The molar ratio of Mg(ClO₄)₂ to Mg is 1:1.

5.00 mol Mg(ClO₄)₂ × 1 mol Mg/1 mol Mg(ClO₄)₂ = 5.00 mol Mg

Step 3: Calculate the number of moles of Cl

The molar ratio of Mg(ClO₄)₂ to Cl is 1:2.

5.00 mol Mg(ClO₄)₂ × 2 mol Cl/1 mol Mg(ClO₄)₂ = 10.0 mol Cl

Step 4: Calculate the number of moles of O

The molar ratio of Mg(ClO₄)₂ to Cl is 1:8.

5.00 mol Mg(ClO₄)₂ × 8 mol O/1 mol Mg(ClO₄)₂ = 40.0 mol O
