The primary purpose of the malate-aspartate shuttle is Choose one: O To move electrons from NADH in the cytosol to the mitochondrial matrix, because the mitochondrial membrane is impermeable to NADH. O To transport NADH from the cytosol to the mitochondrial matrix while pumping aspartate to the cytosol. O To supply the mitochondria with aspartate, which can be used to generate ATP. O To eliminate waste from the mitochondria.
