The following statements are related to pentose phosphate pathway.

a) The first and third steps are oxidations with large, negative standard free-energy changes and are essentially irreversible in the cell

b) NADPH rises and inhibits the first enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway. As a result, more glucose 6-phosphate is available for glycolysis

c) All the enzymes of the reversible reaction of the pentose phosphate pathway are located in the cytosol

d) The NADPH is used for biosynthetic reactions such as lipid synthesis and nitrogen assimilation in the cytosol

White-breasted nuthatches and Downy woodpeckers both eat insects that hide in the furrows of bark in hardwood trees. The Downy woodpecker searches for insects by hunting from the bottom of the tree trunk to the top, while the White-breasted nuthatch searches from the top of the trunk down. These hunting behaviours best illustrate which of the following ecological concepts?

Monarch butterflies are protected from birds and other predators but the cardiac glycosides they incorporate into their tissues are from eating milkweed when they were in their caterpillar stage of development. The wings of a different species of butterfly, the Viceroy, look nearly identical to the Monarch so predators that have learned not to eat the bad-tasting Monarch avoid Viceroys as well. This example best describes
