Common to both glycolysis and pentose phosphate pathway is:

A
Glucose 6 phosphate
B
NAD
C
ATP
D
All of the above
High-Yield Explanation
Although glucose 6-phosphate is common to both pathways, the pentose phosphate pathway is markedly different from glycolysis. Oxidation utilizes NADP rather than NAD, and CO2, which is not produced in glycolysis, is a characteristic product. No ATP is generated in the pentose phosphate pathway, whereas it is a major product of glycolysis Ref: Harper 28th edition, chapter 21.
