MCAT Question of the Day


  • Q:

    The pentose phosphate pathway differs from glycolysis in that:

     

    A

    the pentose phosphate pathway occurs in the mitochondria while glycolysis occurs in the cytosol.

    B

    the pentose phosphate pathway produces NAD+ while glycolysis produces NADH.

    C

    the pentose phosphate pathway produces a precursor for the synthesis of fatty acids while glycolysis produces a precursor for the oxidation of fatty acids.
