Pentose Phosphate Pathway

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The Hexose Monophosphate Shunt or the Phosphogluconate pathway is the term given to Pentose Phosphate Pathway.
  • The pentose phosphate pathway occurs in the Cytosol of the cell.
  • There are two most important products formed in the pentose phosphate pathway which are as follows:
  • First is the Ribose-5-phosphate sugar, which is used to make RNA and DNA.
  • The other is the NADPH Molecules which helps in building other molecules.
