More than glycolysis

Vedclass · Answer

(C) In the process of glycolysis,there is no evolution of $CO_2$ molecules. Glycolysis involves the breakdown of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate without the release of carbon dioxide. In contrast,the hexose monophosphate $(HMP)$ shunt,also known as the pentose phosphate pathway,involves the oxidative decarboxylation of glucose$-6-$phosphate,which results in the release of $CO_2$ molecules. Therefore,the number of $CO_2$ molecules evolved in the $HMP$ shunt is more than in glycolysis.
