All of the following occur in the hexose monophosphate pathway for glucose metabolism EXCEPT

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The hexose monophosphate pathway (also known as the pentose phosphate pathway) involves the reduction of NADP+ to NADPH, not NAD+. This is a key difference from glycolysis, where NAD+ is reduced to NADH. The pathway does involve the formation of C-5 sugar phosphates, release of carbon dioxide, and does not form C-7 sugar phosphates, making the reduction of NAD the incorrect statement.
