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>

Unicellular organisms, cells perform all the basic actions and functions required for living like nutrition, respiration, reproduction etc.

In multicellular organisms, cells divide their tasks on the basis of "DIVISION OF LABOUR" to specialize in certain functions besides respiration etc. Like conduction in neurons, excitation in muscles, RBC production by bone marrow etc.

HELP!!!! A glass flask containing 100 milliliters of water is sealed with a rubber stopper and placed on a burner. After a while
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer: A closed system, because energy can enter or leave the container, but the water molecules cannot

Explanation:

Open system: In this system energy and matter both have access to their surroundings beyond the boundaries of system. .

Closed system :In this type system only energy has an access to its surroundings beyond the boundaries of system but not matter.

Isolated system:In this type system exchange of both energy and matter are restricted to move outside the boundaries of system.

According to question, the system given is a closed system because energy is transferred from the burner to glass flask and from the glass flask to the water (matter). But water molecules are only getting condensed on the inside surface of the flask that is exchange of matter beyond the boundaries of the system is restricted. Hence, closed system ,A closed system, because energy can enter or leave the container, but the water molecules cannot.
