Question

label the image illustrating the routes by which cells convert glucose to pyruvate and obtain important intermediates. below each pathway, targets are provided to indicate the net yield of reducing power (nadh and/or nadph) and atp. you may need to scroll down to see all labels (there are 7 total). a: biosynthesis b: pentose phosphate pathway (ppp) c: 2 atp and 2 nadh d: 1 co2 and 2 nadph e: entner - doudoroff (ed) pathway f: glycolysis (emp)

Explanation:

The image shows metabolic pathways related to glucose - pyruvate conversion. Glycolysis (EMP) yields 2 NADH and 2 pyruvate. The Pentose Phosphate Pathway (PPP) produces NADPH. The Entner - Doudoroff (ED) pathway has its own characteristic products. By analyzing the flow of metabolites and products in the pathways shown, we can match the labels.

Answer:

From top - to - bottom and left - to - right:
A. Biosynthesis
B. Pentose phosphate pathway (PPP)
C. 2 ATP and 2 NADH
D. 1 CO2 and 2 NADPH
E. Entner - Doudoroff (ED) pathway
F. Glycolysis (EMP)
