Which of the following reaction produces CO2?
Correct Answer: HMP shunt pathway
Description: Inpentose phosphate pathway (hexose monophosphate shunt) three molecules of glucose 6-phosphate give rise to three molecules of CO2 and three 5-carbon sugars. These are rearranged to regenerate two molecules of glucose 6-phosphate and one molecule of the glycolytic intermediate, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. Ref: Bender D.A., Mayes P.A. (2011). Chapter 21.
