The fatty acid synthase complex catalyzes the synthesis of palmitate (16:0) using carbon derived from acetyl-CoA and NADPH as a reducing equivalent. What is the source of the NADPH used in reductive palmitate biosynthesis? A. The citrate shuttle and nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase (NNT) each produce seven NADPH molecules. B. The pentose phosphate pathway produces six NADPH molecules, and the citrate shuttle produces eight molecules. C. The pentose phosphate pathway produces all 14 molecules of NADPH. D. The pentose phosphate pathway produces four NADPH molecules, isocitrate dehydrogenase produces six molecules, and malic enzyme 1 produces four molecules.
