Why does the pentose phosphate pathway take place in the cytosol? O The reagent NAD* is only found in the cytosol. Substrates for other pathways in which carbohydrates are metabolized are found in the cytosol. The pentose phosphate pathway takes place in the Endoplasmic Reticulum. O If it took place in mitochondria it would compete with other metabolic pathways found there.
