The plant cells share several pathways of carbohydrate metabolism with animal cells:
A.
The plant cell carries out the same processes that generate energy in animal cells (glycolysis, citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation).
B.
It can generate hexoses from three- or fourcarbon compounds by gluconeogenesis.
C.
It can oxidize hexose phosphates to pentose phosphates with the generation of NADPH (the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway).
D.
I t can produce a polymer of (α1→4)-linked glucose (starch) and degrade it to generate hexoses.
