Pentose, phosphale pathway has sovenal catabolic and anabolic function NADPH from the pentose phosphate pathway scarves as a source of clectrone for the redn of moleculer during biosynthesis. 2. The pathway synthesizes four and five carbon sugpore for a voorusty of purposes. The four carbon sugar erythrose, 4- phosphate is used to synthesize aromatic a. a and vitaran B6 (pyridoxal). The pentose ribose. 5 phosphate is a major component of nucleic acids, and ribulose. 1,5-bisphosphate Is the i co aceptor in photosynthesis. When a microorganism is Can growing on a pentose carbon sovorne, the pathway allo Supply carbon for hexose production (eg: glucose is needed pply for peptidoglycan synthesis). Intermediates in the pentose phosphate pothway may be used to produce. ATP Glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate from the pathway Can enden the 3-C. stage of glycolytic pathway and be converted to ATP and pyruvate. The lattor may be oxidized in the Incorboxylic acid cycle to provide more energy. In addn, sorre NADPH can be converted to NADH, which yielde ATP when it is oxidized Because 5-C The è transport chain. by the goou are intermediator in the pathway sugoos the pentose phosphate pathway can be used to catabolize
