Fill in the missing numbers to complete the following statement regarding the pentose phosphate pathway.
The oxidation of 6 mol of glucose by the pentose phosphate pathway may result in the production of ______ mol of pentose, ______ mol of NADPH and ______ mol of CO2.
Choose the correct answer from the options in brackets.
The [positive/negative] standard free‑energy change favors the oxidation of succinate by covalently‑bound FAD. This is consistent with K′eq [ >1 / =1 / <1 ]. Oxidation by NAD+ would require a large, [positive/negative] standard free‑energy change, with K′eq favoring the synthesis of succinate.
What type of reaction is: NADH --> NAD+ + H+ + 2 e-

- The metabolic reactions and enzymes that require NAD/NADH are shown in Figure 1. However, it is not specified whether oxidized or reduced NAD is used in each reaction, nor what form of NAD is produced as a product. Add this specificity to the attached figure. You are also welcome to draw your own figure.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements best explains why the activity of ATP-citrate lyase and malic enzyme are often paired together? The use of ATP by ATP-citrate lyase means that NADH needs to be regenerated cytosolically so that more ATP can be generated via shuttle systems and replace the ATP used by ATP-citrate lyase ATP-citrate lyase produces ATP and malic enzyme produces NADPH, both needed in the fatty acid biosynthetic pathway The activity of ATP-citrate lyase and malic enzyme never are correlated, they always function in different realms of metabolism The generation of acetyl CoA is a substrate for fatty acid synthesis in the cytosol and NADPH is generated as the anabolic electron carrierarrow_forwardComplete the following diagram, using arrows to show the flow of electrons, for this reaction catalyzed by GAP dehydrogenase.
