<strong>Chapter</strong> <strong>14</strong> <strong>Glycolysis</strong>, <strong>Gluconeogenesis</strong>, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Pentose</strong> Phosphate Pathway 175Ans: The tissue must be oxidizing glucose primarily by <strong>the</strong> pentose phosphate pathway, in which C-1is released (as CO 2 ) earlier than C-6. During glycolysis, C-1 <strong>and</strong> C-6 become equivalent at <strong>the</strong> levelof glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, <strong>and</strong> C-1 <strong>and</strong> C-6 are thus released simultaneously (during passage ofacetate through <strong>the</strong> citric acid cycle).
