Question

${NADP}^{+}$ is reduced to $NADPH$ in

• A. HMP
• B. Calvin cycle
• C. Glycolysis
• D. EMP

Answer 1

The correct option is A HMP

The Hexose Monophosphate Shunt is also known as “Pentose Phosphate Pathway” (PPP). It is an alternative Glucose oxidation pathway. It is used for the production of $NADPH$ from $NAD{P}^{+}$.

It occurs in the cytosol and can be divided into two phases:

• Oxidative phase: it generates $NADPH$.
  
• Non-oxidative phase: synthesize pentose-phosphate and other phosphate monosaccharides.
  

So, the correct answer is " HMP ".
