<prompt> AII are true about Hexose monophosphate pathway HMP except -Produce NADPH in oxidative phase of pathwayDoes not produce ATPOccurs in testes, ovaries, placenta and adrenal coexProduces ribose 5-phosphate in oxidative phase of pathway  <response>: Ans is. d i.e., Produces ribose 5-phosphate in oxidative phase of pathway HMP shunt is a multicyclic process in which 3 molecules of glucose-6-phosphate give rise to 3 molecules of CO, and 3 molecules of 5-carbon sugars ribulose-5-phosphate.The latter are rearranged to generate 2 molecules of glucose-6-phosphate through fructose-6-phosphate and 1 molecule glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. HMP shunt does not generate ATP.HMP shunt occurs in the cytosol. It is highly active in liver, adipose tissue, adrenal coex, lens, cornea, lactating but not the nonlactating mammary gland, Gonads testis, ovary and erythrocytes. Activity of this pathway is minimal in muscle and brain, where almost all of the glucose is degraded by glycolysis.
