Title: Optional

Text: The Pentose phosphate pathway is also called the Hexose Monophosphate Shunt and Phosphogluconate Pathway. The pathway is active in cells that are actively converting glucose and storing it as fats, as well as actively dividing cells where the demand for ribose-5-phosphate is high. The pathway produces reducing equivalents (NADPH) for reductive synthesis and 5-carbon precursors for the synthesis of nucleotides. Each paragraph will be a test.
