Question

Which of the following is/are correct regarding the pentose phosphate pathway? I. NADH is generated by the oxidation of glucose-6-phosphate II. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is generated III. The pathway requires a transaldolase IV. The pathway generates 3 ATP per 1 glucose-6-phosphate

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is 1 NADH is generated by the oxidation of glucose-6-phosphate.

Explanation:

Pentose phosphate pathway deals with the utilization of glucose-6-phosphate by oxidation process to form 6-phosphogluconolactone by the catalytic activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenese.

   This enzyme need NAD+ as co enzyme which get reduced to generate NADH.
