Which of the following is not true regarding the pentose
phosphate pathway?

NADPH is generated during the steps in which glucose 6-phosphate
is oxidized to ribose 5-phosphate.

NADPH serves as an electron donor in reductive
biosynthesis.
NADPH helps oxidize the reduced form of glutathione, so that
oxidized glutathione can help neutralize the effects of free
radical formation.
The pentose phosphate pathway is much more active in adipose
tissue than in muscle cells, as large amounts of NADPH are consumed
by adipose tissue in the reductive synthesis of fatty acids form
acetyl CoA.
None of the above
