Question

During Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity, which reaction takes place? a. Glucose 6-phosphate is converted back into glucose. b. NAD+ is reduced. c. FAD is reduced. d. The end product is 6-phosphogluconolactone. e. NADP+ is oxidized.

Answer 1

Answer:

d) The end product is 6-phosphogluconolactone

Explanation:

Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase perform the first step in pentose phosphate pathway and catalyzes the conversion of Glucose 6-phosphate

to 6-phosphogluconolactone and  NADP+ is reduced to NADPH.
