6 molecules of glucose-6-phosphate in the presence of coenzyme NADP are oxidised into_________ by the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase.
6 molecules of 6-phosphogluconolactone
6 molecules of 6-phosphogluconic acid.
6 molecule of ribulose-5-phosphate
4 molecule of xylulose-5-phosphate and 2 molecule of ribose-5-phosphate
The enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase converts 6 molecules of glucose-6-phosphate into 6 molecules of 6-phosphogluconolactone when coenzyme NADP is present.
The reversible process results in the reduction of 6 molecules of NADP.
Option 1 is the correct answer.
