Which of the following is a source of NADPH?
A) the pentose phosphate pathway
B) a series of reactions in which oxaloacetate is reduced to malate followed by oxidative decarboxylation of the malate to pyruvate
C) both of the above
D) neither of these

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both the pentose phosphate pathway and the series of reactions where oxaloacetate is reduced to malate followed by oxidative decarboxylation of the malate to pyruvate are sources of NADPH. The pentose phosphate pathway is a major source of NADPH in cells, and the conversion of malate to pyruvate also generates NADPH.
