A deficiency in glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase reduces the
levels of NADPH in the red blood cell. This leads to an increase in
which of the following compounds with the cell?
Give this one a try later!
, Oxidized glutathione
Describe the pentose phosphate pathway, including regulation, cofactors,
oxidative and non-oxidative portions, and its roles as a source of NADPH and
of ribose for nucleotide synthesis
It consists entirely of near-equilibrium reactions
Describe the pentose phosphate pathway and its roles as a source of NADPH and
of ribose for nucleotide synthesis.
α-ketoglutarate to succinyl-CoA
The synthesis of succinyl-CoA is completed by α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase. This
is one of the steps of the TCA cycle.
Using anaplerotic reactions
Anaplerotic reactions, most importantly that catalyzed by pyruvate carboxylase are
essential for regenerating TCA cycle intermediates.

Definition
-interfaces with glycolysis
-No ATP is directly produced from the oxidation of glucose 6-
phosphate
-the oxidative portion of the PPP is coupled to the production of
,NADPH
-produces five-carbon sugars required for nucleotide synthesis.

Definition
the process by which free fatty acids are oxidized to produce acetyl-
CoA, NADH, and FADH2. It is a high energy yielding process and is
required to generate ATP in the fasted state
-Generates ATP in the fasted state
