In chloroplasts, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase uses NADPH as a cofactor in the synthesis of glucose. In cytoplasmic gluconeogenesis, however, the isozyme of this dehydrogenase uses NADH.
Why is it advantageous for the enzyme in the chloroplast to use NADPH? :
NADPH is abundant in chloroplasts, because it is generated by the light reactions.
NADPH provides more reducing power than NADH in cells.
NADPH is harmful to chloroplasts when levels become too high.
The presence of NADH increases the rate of wasteful photorespiration.

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase catalyzes the phosphorylation of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, but unlike other glycolytic reactions, it does not require energy investment from ATP. This reaction occurs in two stages: oxidation/reduction and phosphorylation. Why is the oxidation/reduction reaction necessary to make phosphorylation favorable? Choose one: A. The oxidation/reduction reaction is necessary to oxidize phosphate, allowing addition to the substrate. B. The oxidation/reduction reaction is necessary to form an intermediate with a large free energy of hydrolysis. C. The oxidation/reduction reaction is necessary to produce...
