Detailed explanation-1: -The oxidative phase of the pentose phosphate pathway is the major source of NADPH in cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -NAD+ is synthesized through two metabolic pathways. It is produced either in a de novo pathway from amino acids or in salvage pathways by recycling preformed components such as nicotinamide back to NAD+.
Detailed explanation-3: -NAD(+) is the oxidised form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide found in all living cells. In metabolism, NAD(+) is involved in redox reactions, carrying electrons from one reaction to another.
Detailed explanation-4: -NADP (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate) exists in two forms: NADP+ is the oxidized form and NADPH is the reduced form.
Detailed explanation-5: -ATP and NADH are made. These reactions take place in the cytosol.
