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

Chemistry

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>

How many atoms are in 22 grams of copper metal?
strojnjashka [21]
Atomic mass Cu = 63.546 a.m.u

63.546 g ---------------- 6.02x10²³ atoms
22 g --------------------- ??

22 x (6.02x10²³ ) / 63.546 => 2.08x10²³ atoms

hope this helps!

There are many compounds that contribute to the overall aroma of a banana. The primary compound is called isoamyl acetate and co
Murljashka [212]

Explanation:

Let the mass of isoamyl acetate be 100g.

Moles of Carbon = 60.58/12 = 5.048mol

Moles of Hydrogen = 7.07/1 = 7.07mol

Moles of Oxygen = 32.28/16 = 2.018mol

Mole Ratio of C : H : O

= 5.048 : 7.07 : 2.018

= 5 : 7 : 2.

Hence the empirical formula of isoamyl acetate is C5H7O2.

For the reaction: 2 A (g) + B (s)= 2 C(s) + D (g)
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

The value of the equilibrium constant = 5.213

Explanation:

Here K_p (equilibrium constant) is referred to as the  partial pressure of product divided by the  partial pressure of reactant with each pressure term raised to power that is equal to its stoichiometric coefficient in balanced equation .

As such only gas appear in K_p  expression as solids takes a value of 1;

SO ; in the  given equation from the question:

2 A (g) + B (s) ----> 2 C(s) + D (g)

K_p = \dfrac{[D]}{[A]^2}

K_p = \dfrac{2.71}{0.721^2}

K_p = 5.213

The value of the equilibrium constant = 5.213
