Multiple choice quesions for Pentose Phosphate Pathway

The process of making glucose when cells are grown on other sources (like amino acids) is called
(a) gluconeogenesis
(b) glucogenesis
(c) neoglucogenesis
(d) glucogenetics
(e) none of the above


 The stoichiometry of NADPH to ribose 5-P in the pentose phosphate pathway is
(a) 1:1
(b) 2:1
(c) 3:1
(d) 1:2
(e) 1:3


 NADPH is not used for which of the following reactions:
(a) fatty acid synthesis
(b) reductive biosynthesis
(c) oxidative phosphorylation
(d) cholesterol biosynthesis
(e) all of the above

NADPH is not used for ATP synthesis and gluconeogenesis, but its electrons provide the energy for certain biosynthesis reactions such as ones involved in photosynthesis.
