Question

1. Cells that need NADPH as much as they need Ribose 5 phosphate

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Many cell types need NADPH for reductive biosynthesis processes much more than they need ribose 5-phosphate.

2. The cells need more ribose 5-phosphate for the synthesis of DNA they can generate it from glucose 6-phosphate via reactions of glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway.

3. In these cases, ribose 5-phosphate is recycled back to glucose 6-phosphate via glycolytic intermediates.
