7. Students carry out a laboratory experiment of the oxidative conversion of glucose to ribose 5-phosphate on muscle and liver homogenates. The first carbon of glucose is radioactively labeled. Will the labeled atom appear in pentose? Which tissue, liver or muscle will show a higher rate of the process? To solve the problem: a) depict reactions of the oxidative stage of the pentose phosphate pathway using chemical formulas; b) indicate the significance of this process for the cells and for the whole organism; c) name the regulatory enzyme and mechanism of its regulation.
