What is Regarding HMP shunt all of the following are true except and explain in detail?
Hexose monophosphate shunt is a metabolic pathway parallel to glycolysis. It generates NADPH and pentoses as well as ribose-5-phosphate the last one a precursor for the synthesis of nucleotides.There are two distinct phases in the pathway. The first is the oxidative phase, in which NADPH is generated, and the second is the non-oxidative synthesis of 5-carbon sugars. Ref: DM Vasudevan, 7th edition, page no: 130
