A new experimental pesticide is being tested by a large agricultural chemical company. An unfortunate side effect in plants treated with this new product is a decrease in NADPH production in the chloroplasts. (Interestingly, reduction of NAD+ to NADH in the mitochondria is unaffected.) Given this observation, which of the following would you NOT expect to observe in the chloroplasts of these plants?
A) a decrease in 3-phosphoglycerate levels and a decrease in RuBP production
B) an increase in 3-phosphoglycerate levels and an increase in RuBP production
C) a decrease in glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate production
D) a decrease in 3-phosphoglycerate production and an increase in RuBP production
