Comparison of the three different ways glucose can be metabolized: (1) Via anaerobe glycolysis: 6 energy equivalents (ATP) are produced. (2) Via the hexose monophosphate pathway (HMP): 5 Energy and 6 reduction equivalents are generated. (3) The ascorbate synthesis produces 2 AA from 3 glucose molecules, one glucose molecule is needed for ATP production (glycolysis) to activate the remaining two glucose molecules.
