Select the 1 statements below that accurately describe the difference between the oxidative phase and nonoxidative phase of the Pentose Phosphate Pathway.The oxidative phase occurs in the mitochondria where oxygen is available and the nonoxidative phase occurs in the muscle, which uses anaerobic metabolism and generates lactic acid.The oxidative phase is responsible for regenerating glucose-6P, whereas the nonoxidative phase is responsible for generating NADPH.The nonoxidative phase produces ribulose-5P for nucleotide synthesis and the oxidative phase generates NADPH for biosynthetic reactions in the cell.The oxidative phase generates 2 NADPH for each glucose-6P that is converted to ribulose-5P, whereas the nonoxidative phase generates 5 glucose-6P for every 6 ribulose-5P that are metabolized in the oxidative phase.
