Which of the following statements is correct about oxidative pentose phosphate pathway?
A. It generates NADH
B. It oxidizes NADPH to NADP+
C. The pathway supplies ribose 5-phosphate and NADPH in the quantities the cell requires
D. Glucose 6-phosphatase catalyzes the rate limiting reaction of the pathway
Answer:C
Which of the following statements is correct about oxidative pentose phosphate pathway?
A. It generates NADH B. It oxidizes NADPH to NADP+ C. The pathway supplies ribose 5-phosphate and NADPH in the quantities the cell requires D. Glucose 6-phosphatase catalyzes the rate limiting reaction of the pathway
Explanation: Oxidative pentose phosphate pathway supplies ribose 5-phosphate and NADPH in the quantities the cell requires. It reduces NADP+ to NADPH.
