An organism that possesses all the enzymes of the EMP and Pentose Phosphate pathway

has remarkable metabolic flexibility. Consider, for example, the need that organisms have

for erythrose-4-phosphate. Devise a metabolic sequence that will accomplish net synthesis

of erythrose-4-phosphate from glucose without the accumulation of any other

intermediates. (10 points).
