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>

Electrons are able to "move" around the atom in set energy states in different orbitals, because the electrons "move" so fast around the nucleus where they are is just represented with an area of probability since their location and velocity cannot be measured with certainty. Protons and Neutrons are packed tightly in the nucleus held together by the strong nuclear force so they are not able to freely move.

At the beginning of the reaction: N2 + 3H2 -&gt; 2NH there is 1 mol of N. and 3 moles of H, and at the end of it is present a mi
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

75%

Explanation:

call realistic moles of N2 in the reaction is a

moles of H2 :3a

moles of NH3: 2a

the moles of residual N2 after reaction: 1-a

the moles of residual H2 after react: 3- 3a

the moles of mixture: 2a+1-a+3-3a=2.5

-> a=0.75

H=0.75/1=75%

A stock solution of HNO3 is prepared and found to contain 13.1 M of HNO3. If 25.0 mL of the stock solution is diluted to a final
musickatia [10]

Answer:

The diluted solution is 0.65 M

Explanation:

Dilution formula to solve the problem is:

M concentrated . V concentrated = M Diluted . V diluted

We can also make a rule of three though.

In 1000 mL of concentrated solution, we have 13.1 moles of  HNO₃

So in 25 mL we have (25 . 13.1 ) / 1000 = 0.327 moles of HNO₃

This moles are also in 0.500 L of diluted solution, the new molarity will be:

0.327 mol / 0.5L = 0.65 M

Molarity of diluted solution must be always lower than concentrated solution, otherwise the excersise is wrong.

If we replace in the formula

13.1 M . 25 mL = 500 mL . M diluted

M diluted = 13.1 m . 25 mL / 500 mL = 0.65 M
