I want you to include the enzyme in each step and include some important by-products as well. From the illustration, I want you to encircle the intermediate molecule to highlight the link between the two processes. Aside from the illustration, I want you to compare and contrast the two pathways in terms of function, number of reaction steps, and usage of UTP. You can tabulate this part to make it simpler.arrow_forwardWhat is the substrate that is not produced during the non-oxidative phase of the pentose phosphate pathway? Why?arrow_forward
