Chapter 22, Problem 17P
Interpretation Introduction
To explain:
How pentose phosphate pathway and the glycolytic pathway can combine and produce both NADPH and ATP without producing ribose-5-phosphate.
Introduction:
NADPH is produced in Pentose phosphate pathway of by oxidation but ATP is produced in glycolytic pathway by non-oxidation.
