The appropriate sequence of intermediates between mevalonate and squalene are:
A.geranyl pyrophosphate
B.isopentenyl pyrophosphate
C.5-phosphomevalonate
D.farnesyl pyrophosphate
E.dimethylallyl pyrophosphate

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct sequence from mevalonate to squalene is as follows:
Mevalonate→ 5-Phosphomevalonate → Isopentenyl pyrophosphate → Geranyl pyrophosphate → Farnesyl pyrophosphate → Squalene. Thus, the correct sequence of intermediates is C (5-phosphomevalonate) → B (isopentenyl pyrophosphate) → E (dimethylallyl pyrophosphate) → A (geranyl pyrophosphate) → D (farnesyl pyrophosphate) and finally squalene. The only option that follows this sequence is B.
