  b. enable plants but not mammals to utilize fatty acids or acetate in the form of acetyl-CoA as a sole carbon source for the biosynthesis of carbohydrate
  c. enable invertebrates, such as insects, to generate reducing power in the form of NADPH in the extramitochondrial cytoplasm
  d. enable the transfer of reducing equivalents from cytoplasmic NADH to the mitochondrial electron transport chain in plants
