2
Q
the two primary products of PPP are
A
ribose-5-phosphate
NADPH
3
Q
the pentose phosphate pathway purpose is to divert
A
G6P from glycolysis in order to form NADPH and ribose-5-P in order to synthesize nucleotides
4
Q
glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) is
A
the first enzyme of PPP, which is used to reduce NADP+ to NADPH and convert G6P to 6-phosphogluconate
