Liver and other organ meats contain large quantities of nucleic acids. The digestion of such foods involves RNA hydrolysis, which results in the formation of free ribose. This free ribose can then enter the nonoxidative phase of the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP). Write down the outline mechanism by which free ribose can be used as a fuel for glycolysis.

Glucose, also called grape sugar, blood sugar or corn sugar, is among the simplest and one of the primary naturally occurring sugars. produced naturally by plants as the primary photosynthesis product, it is heavily used by living beings as a main energy source and is necessary for cellular respiration. chemically, it is a monosaccharide carbohydrate and serves as a building block for complex sugars like starch.
