A.
used in the synthesis of complex polysaccharides destined for the extracellular space (synthesis of structural polymers)
B.
stored in cells (as a polysaccharide or as sucrose)
C.
oxidized to a three-carbon compound (pyruvate) via glycolysis to provide ATP and metabolic intermediates
D.
oxidized via the pentose phosphate (phosphogluconate) pathway to yield ribose 5-phosphate for nucleic acid synthesis and NADPH for reductive biosynthetic processes
