Document Summary

Lecture 6 glucose and glycolysis ii ethanol fermentation. A group of dehydrogenase enzymes that occur in many organisms and facilitate the interconversion between alcohols and aldehydes or ketones with the reduction of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide glycogen a substance deposited in bodily tissues as a store of carbohydrates. It generates nadph and pentoses (5- carbon sugars) as well as ribose 5-phosphate, the last one a precursor for the synthesis of nucleotides. In photosynthesis, nadph is generated (along with atp) in the light-dependent reactions, and used in the light-independent reactions as a reducing agent in the.
