Glycolysis, the Entner-Duodoroff Pathway and the Pentose Phosphate Pathway All

Question

Glycolysis, the Entner-Duodoroff pathway and the pentose phosphate pathway all produce
A)pyruvate.
B)NAD.
C)NADP.
D)acetyl-CoA.

Accepted Answer

All three pathways produce pyruvate as a final product. Glycolysis converts glucose to two molecules of pyruvate, the Entner-Duodoroff pathway converts glucose to one molecule of pyruvate and one molecule of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, and the pentose phosphate pathway produces varying amounts of pyruvate depending on the specific reactions taking place.
