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>
Answer:
True
Explanation:
The majority of the reactions happened with a flow of heat. When there's no heat, the reaction is adiabatic.
For no adiabatic reactions, the heat can be released (evolution) by the system, so the reaction will be exothermic, or absorbed by the system (absorption), then the reaction is called endothermic.
Answer:
Because Iodine is a non-polar but water is polar therefore it can not have a hydrogen bond or any permanent dipole-dipole interactions
Answer:
1. Alkalinity
2. True
3. Red
Explanation:
1. 8-14, which are the bases, are alkaline
2. Salt lowers the melting/freezing point of water
3. Blue --> Red is Acid
Answer:
The sharklet film creates a phenomenon reffed to as mechanotransduction.
Explanation:
It was discovered that sharks do not experience fouling , their skin is made in a distinct manner with diamond patterns that will discourage micro organism from settling on it.
Through the process of mechanotransduction, mechanical stress is created to the bacteria whereby they cannot attach themselves to the surface because it makes them to produce more energy to settle on the surface thus they may keep off from the surface. In this manner, bacteria is inhibited from attacking these areas protected by the sharklet film.
