NADPH2 is formed in photosynthesis but in respiration, it forms during _.
Correct answer: A. HMP
- A. HMP
- B. ETS
- C. Kreb's cycle
- D. None of these
Explanation
NADPH (reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) is more directly associated with other pathways, such as the pentose phosphate pathway (also known as the hexose monophosphate shunt or HMP). In the pentose phosphate pathway, glucose-6-phosphate is converted into ribulose-5-phosphate, and NADPH is produced during this process. The pathway serves various functions, including the generation of NADPH for biosynthetic processes and the reduction of oxidative stress.
