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>
Breakdown of energy rich molecules without oxygen present. In human muscles, it is the same equation wise as lactic acid fermentation.
Answer:
(1) I shifts toward product and II shifts toward reactant.
Explanation:
Increasing the temperature of an endothermic reaction (∆H is positive) shifts the equilibrium position to the right thus favoring product formation.
Increasing the temperature of an exothermic reaction (∆H is negative) shifts the equilibrium position to the left thus favoring the backward reaction.
Answer:
1.36 g.
Explanation:
First we calculate the molar mass of sodium acetate trihydtrate:
CH3COONa.3H2O
= 12 + 3 + 12 + 2*16 + 23 + 6 + 3*16
= 136 g.
So 1 L of 1 M solution contains 136 g
0.100 M solution will contain 13.6 g
100 mL of 0.100 M solution contains 1.36 g.
Answer:
The different elements are represented by their symbols one line shows a single bond and two lines show a double bond. This written representation is called a structural diagram
