The oxidative phase of the pentose phosphate pathway
a. reversible under physiological conditions.
b. has an enzyme requiring thiamine pyrophosphate as a coenzyme.
c. produces ribulose‑5‑phosphate and nadph for biosynthetic processes.
d. converts pentoses to hexoses.

C: Produces ribulose-5-phosphate and NADPH for biosynthetic processes.

Explanation:

There are two distinct phases in the pathway. The first is the oxidative phase, in which NADPH is generated, and the second is the non-oxidative synthesis of 5-carbon sugars. For most organisms, the pentose phosphate pathway takes place in the cytosol; in plants, most steps take place in plastids.

both adhesion and cohesion are attractions.

they are different in that adhesion is the force of attraction between the molecules of two different substances, whereas cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules of the same substance.

possible examples include capillary action, in which the adhesion between water and glass causes the water to rise in a narrow tube against the force of gravity.

because of hydrogen bonding, water is extremely cohesive.

this causes molecules on the surface of water to be drawn inward, which is why drops of water form beads on smooth surfaces.
