Solution
The correct option is C NADPH
The Pentose Phosphate Pathway is an alternative pathway to glycolysis and TCA cycle. It occurs in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes in their cytoplasmGlucose is broken down by a series of pathways.The pathway has 2 phases- Oxidative and Non-oxidative.In the oxidative stage, there are 2 steps where NADP⁺ gets converted to NADPH.
1. Glucose 6-phosphate converts to 6-phosphogluconolactone2. 6-phosphogluconate converts to Ribulose 5- phosphateSo, the correct option is 'NADPH'
