Question

An important feature of HMP shunt pathway is

• A. It yields more ATP
• B. It yields NADPH
• C. It yields NAD
• D. It yields $FAD{H}_2$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

It yields NADPH

Hexose Monophosphate Pathway shunt or pentose phosphate pathway contains a unique feature that it produces either NADPH or ribose or both and direction of flow of metabolites depends on the end product.

So the correct option is 'It yields NADPH'.
