what happens to the c1 of glucose in tissue that is mainly metabolizing glucose via the pentose phosphate pathway?
Answer: According to the question here the pentose phosphate pathway is shown as :
Glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) à Fructose-6-phosphate (F6P)
Phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI) catalyses the interconversion of G6P and F6P during glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. The shift of the carbonyl oxygen from the C1 position in G6P to the C2 position in F6P is necessary in order to add another phosphate group at the C1 position in a later reaction.
Hence it is all about the given question , Thank you :)
