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>

14.28 explain how you would distinguish between each pair of compounds using high- resolution mass spectrometry
vagabundo [1.1K]

The distinguish between each pair of compounds using high- resolution mass spectrometry by the exact mass rather than nominal mass are utilizes to measure the compound.

The mass spectrometry is involves the following steps :

  • The ionization
  • acceleration
  • deflection
  • detection

Mass spectrometry is the analytical method useful for the calculating the mass to charge ratio ( m / z ). the mass spectrometry is based on the newton's second law and the momentum.

Thus, the mass spectroscopy is method to measure the molecular mass of the compound and indirectly helps examine the isotopes and based on the newton's second law .

kari74 [83]
Mechanical twinning occurs in metals having body center cubic and hexagonal closed packed structures. Twinning is said to occur when a portion of a crystal takes up an orientation that is related to the orientation of the untwinned lattice in a definite symmetrical manner.

100 ml is drawn from 0.1 M solution of KCl and added to 900 ml of water. What is the
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

The new concentration will be 0.01 M.

Explanation:

To determine the new concentration we use the following formula.

concentration (1) × volume (1) = concentration (2) × volume (2)

concentration (1) = 0.1 M

volume (1) = 100 mL

concentration (2) = unknown

volume (2) = 100 mL + 900 mL = 1000 mL

concentration (2) = [concentration (1) × volume (1)] / volume (2)

concentration (2) = (0.1 × 100) / 1000 = 0.01 M
