This is a real-world medical entrance exam question, please give the true answer based on the question and selection. Topic name: None, Subject name: Biochemistry
Regarding HMP shunt all of the following are true, EXCEPT: 
Select and explain. 
A. Occurs in the cytosol, B. No ATP is produced in the cycle, C. It is active in Adipose tissue, Liver and Gonads, D. The oxidative phase generates NADPH and the Non oxidative phase generates pyruvate
D: The oxidative phase generates NADPH and the Non oxidative phase generates pyruvate
Answer: D: The oxidative phase generates NADPH and the Non oxidative phase generates pyruvate 
Explanation: The oxidative phase generates NADPH and the non oxidative phase generates pyruvate. The oxidative phase generated NADPH, however the Non oxidative phase generates Ribose precursors that are required for nucleic acid biosynthesis.
