Chapter 20 The pentose phosphate pathway 20.1 The pentose phosphate pathway generates NADPH and synthesizes five-carbon sugars 20.1.1 Two molecules of NADPH are generated in the conversion of glucose 6-phosphate into ribulose 5-phosphate 20.1.2 The pentose phosphate pathway and glycolysis are linked by transketolase and transaldolase 20.2 The metabolism of glucose 6-phosphate by the pentose phosphate pathway is coordinated with glycolysis Glucose 6-phosphate is metabolized both the glycolytic pathway and the pentose phosphate pathway. The cytoplasmic concentration of NADP+ determines the fat
