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>

1. Determine the amount concentration of calcium ions and acetate ions in a 0.80 mol/L
PIT_PIT [208]

Since there is one mole of Ca^2+ in calcium acetate, its concentration is 0.80 mol/L.

<h3>What is concentration?</h3>

The term concentration has to do with the amount of substance in solution. The concentration can be measured in several units. Generally, concentration is expressed in molarity, molality, mass concentration units or percentage.

Now we are asked to find the amount concentration of calcium ions and acetate ions in a 0.80 mol/L solution of calcium acetate. The formula of calcium acetate is Ca(CH3COO)2.

Thus;

Ca(CH3COO)2(aq)  ----> Ca^2+(aq) + 2CH3COO^-(aq)

It then follows that since there is one mole of Ca^2+ in calcium acetate, its concentration is 0.80 mol/L.

How many grams of HCl(aq) are required to react completely with 1.25g of Zn(s) to form ZnCl2(aq) and H2
faltersainse [42]

1.39 g HCl

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is given by

Zn(<em>s</em>) + 2HCl(<em>aq</em>) ---> ZnCl2(<em>aq</em>) + H2(<em>g</em>)

Convert the # of grams of Zn to moles:

1.25 g Zn × (1 mol Zn/65.38 g Zn) = 0.0191 mol Zn

Use the molar ratio to find the # of moles of HCl needed to react completely with the given amount of Zn:

0.0191 mol Zn × (2 mol HCl/1 mol Zn) = 0.0382 mol HCl

Convert this amount to grams:

0.0382 mol HCl × (36.458 g HCl/1 mol HCl) = 1.39 g HCl
