    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.

    D

    		 the pentose phosphate pathway starts with the oxidation of glucose-6-phosphate while glycolysis starts with the oxidation of glucose.
