Answer:
It involves the oxidation of Glucose-6-Phosphate to 6-Phosphogluconic acid which in turn is converted into pentose phosphates. In this pathway glucose-6-phosphate is directly oxidised without entering glycolysis, hence it is also known as Direct Oxidation Pathway or Hexose Monophosphate Shunt.

Biological oxidation is the combination of oxidation-reduction transformations of substances in living organisms. Oxidation-reduction reactions are those which take place with a change in the oxidation state of atoms through the redistribution of electrons between them.
