Which of the Following Produces NADPH

Question

Which of the following produces NADPH?
A) the pentose phosphate pathway only
B) the Calvin-Benson cycle only
C) the Embden-Meyerhof pathway only
D) both the Embden-Meyerhof and Calvin-Benson cycle pathways
E) both the pentose phosphate and Entner-Doudoroff pathways

Accepted Answer

The pentose phosphate pathway and the Entner-Doudoroff pathway both produce NADPH, which is used in biosynthetic reactions and for maintaining the redox state of the cell.
