Individuals with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency have increased resistance to malaria because the parasite does not survive well in cells with oxidative stress.
<h3>What is the link between G6P deficiency and malaria?</h3>
- Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is an X-linked recessive disorder.
- G6PD protects cells from oxidative damage especially the RBCs whose main function is to carry oxygen.
- Mutation in the gene results in G6PD deficiency leading to oxidative stress which can lead to anemia (iron deficiency) as there is breakdown of RBCs.
- However, G6PD deficiency is quite common in parts of Africa, Middle East, and South Asia, which are the regions of high malaria endemism.
- This is due to natural selection in which G6PD deficiency is not eliminated from the population as it can protect people from malaria infection.
- Malaria parasite <em>Plasmodium</em> species does not survive well in cells with oxidative stress.

Answer:
The Answer is, B, C, And E. I just took it on USATESTPREP.
B) G3P can be used to form the backbone of triglycerides. Glycerol combines with fatty acid tails to form lipids.
C) Two G3P molecules can be combined through anabolic processes to form glucose, a six-carbon sugar required by cells.
E) G3P can be used in to synthesize amino acids, which contain a central carbon, a carboxylic acid group, and a variable R group. These amino acids can then combine to form proteins.
