To help understand how the pentose phosphate pathway functionsit can be divided into two parts. The oxidative part and thenonoxidative part of the pentose phosphate pathway both havespecific characteristics and roles. Determine if each statementapplies to the oxidative part, the nonoxidative part, both parts,or neither part.
1) Contains reactions that are very exergonic under cellularconditions.
2) Takes place in the cytosol.
3) Can be used to produce ribose 5-phosphate.
4) Uses oxidoreductases.
5) Produces ATP.
6) Oxidizes NADPH.
