Alternative oxidative pathway for glucose: 
Select and explain. 
A. Glycogenolysis, B. Gluconeogenesis, C. Glycogenesis, D. Glucuronic acid pathway
D: Glucuronic acid pathway
Answer: D: Glucuronic acid pathway 
Explanation: Uronic Acid PathwayThis is the alternate oxidative pathway for glucose metabolism.Glucose is conveed to glucuronic acid, ascorbic acid and pentosesIn some animals including man, ascorbic acid is not produced.Glucuronic acid is conveed to gluconic acid, which is ultimately conveed to L-xylulose
