Complete the description of the pentose phosphate pathway by
moving the correct term to each blank. A single red X indicates
that one or more of your answers is incorrect. Feedback is placed
near the blank to which it refers. Not all the terms will be
placed. The pentose phosphate pathway is a two-stage pathway that
generates , which is a reductant in many biosynthetic reactions and
takes part in detoxifying reactive oxygen species, and , which is a
nucleotide (DNA and RNA) precursor. The substrate for the pentose
phosphate pathway is . The phase of the pentose phosphate pathway
interconverts phosphorylated monosaccharides, some of which can
feed into the pathway.
