A It generates CO 2 from C-1 of glucose. It involves the conversion of an aldohexose to an aldopentose. It is prominant in lactating mammary gland. It is principally directed toward the generation of NADPH. It requires the participation of molecular oxygen. 28/45 <E- T- >

Answer 1

The PPP does not consume or produce ATP and does not require molecular oxygen. Glycolysis consists of the Embden–Meyerh of pathway from glucose to pyruvate, which does not use oxygen, and generates 2 moles of ATP per mole of glucose.

Pyruvate can then be metabolized via the mitochondrial tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) cycle coupled to mitochondrial electron transport chains, which utilize oxygen in oxidative phosphorylation.

Therefore, Option (E) is Incorrect.
