There are no statements to pick from
Recycling light energy to be used in the process of photosynthesis
Answer:
The correct answer is a. three ATPs
Explanation:
Pentose phosphate is also known as hexose monophosphate shunt and this pathway is the alternative pathway through which glucose is oxidized.
Pentose phosphate pathways are used to produce many intermediated that contains 4 and 5 carbon sugars which are then used as the precursor for synthesis of amino acids and nucleic acids. It also provides precursors for the synthesis of glucose.
NADPH is also produced in this pathway which is used for the reduction of molecules by providing a source of electrons. No ATP generation takes place during the pentose phosphate pathway.
So all the statements are true except a. three ATPs.
Fructose-1, 6-bisphosphatase is activated in response to a glucagon signal.
<h3>What is the purpose of Glucagon signals?</h3>
- Glucagon signals specify that fuel molecules are required in the bloodstream.
- So these signals activate Fructose-1, 6-bisphosphatase (F1, 6BP) so as to increase the level of sugar and other fuels required for production of energy.
- In the process of gluconeogenesis, new glucose molecules are synthesized from other non carbohydrate sources.
- As glucose is required in the bloodstream so F-1, 6BP should be activated as it acts as a rate limiting enzyme in gluconeogenesis.
- Gluconeogenesis occurs when the dietary intake of glucose is very low.
- Glucose is required as a source of energy by almost all body cells so in case of less oxygen it is synthesized from other molecules like amino acids.
