Explanation / Answer

1. The pentose phosphate pathway is the major source for the NADPH required for anabolic processes. This pathway does oxidize glucose and under certain conditions can completely oxidize glucose to CO2 and water.

3. Conversion of ribose 5-phosphate to ribulose 5-phosphate is the reaction carried out by phosphopentose isomerase.

4. Transketolases are the enzymes that belong to transaldolases.
