Question
Chapter 22, Problem 16P
Interpretation Introduction
To explain:
How glucose-6-phosphate can produce more NADPH in pentose phosphate pathway without producing ribose-5-phosphate significantly.
Introduction:
Glucose-6-phosphate converts in to ribulose-5-phospha by producing NADPH. Ribulose-5-phospha can again convert in to glucose-6-phosphate.

Understanding the Oxidation of Glucose and Its Products in the TCA Cycle Glycolysis, the pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction, and the TCA cycle result in complete oxidation of a molecule of glucose to CO2. Review the calculation of oxidation numbers for individual atoms in any molecule, and then calculate the oxidation numbers of the carbons of glucose, pyruvate, the acetyl carbons of acetyl-CoA. and the metabolites of the TCA cycle to convince yourself that complete oxidation of glucose involves removal of 24 electrons and that each acetyl-CoA through the TCA cycle gives up 8 electrons.
