HMP shunt is an alternative to

A

Kreb's cycle

B

Aerobic glycolysis

C

Calvin cycle

D

`C_4` pathway

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The pentose phosphate pathway also called the phosphogluconate pathway and the hexose’s monophosphate pathway is a metabolic pathway parallel to glycolysis. It generates NADPH and pentose (5 carbon sugars).
