Glucose-6-phosphate becomes 6-phosphogluconate by oxidation {phosphogluconate pathway} {pentose phosphate pathway} {hexose monophosphate shunt}. Aldehyde becomes carboxyl. NAD+ becomes NADPH. 6-phosphogluconate makes pentoses, such as ribose-5-phosphate, for nucleotides. Hexose monophosphate shunt in reverse makes hexoses from pentoses for extra energy. Pentose phosphate pathway is in photosynthesis dark reaction.
