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.

"Anaerobic glycolysis" (the conversion of glucose all the way to two lactate molecules) results in no net production of NADH.  True or False- why
why it is important to keep cellular [ATP] high relative to [ADP]. That is, why is it important to keep the ratio of [ADP]/[ATP] low at a given [Pi].
How many moles of ATP are ultimately produced from the entry of 1 mole of FADH2 into the electron transport chain
