Because the sugar used in this process is a hexose (6 carbons) AKA glucose. And 2 phosphate groups are used in redox reactions to produce a net gain of 2 ATP molecules

Is glucose an hexose?
Hexose sugar are monosaccharides containing six carbon back bone in it.
Which hexose is also known as dextrose?
D-glucose.
How many ATP be produced from a molecule of hexose?
two
The most common hexose sugar in living organisms is?
of course Glucose.....
What takes place during the Calvin cycle?
CO2 assimilation and hexose sugar formation
What is another name for pentose pathway?
pentose phosphate pathway (also called phosphogluconate pathway, or hexose monophosphate shunt [HMP shunt])
What is carbon sugar called?
hexose
What are the 6 carbon carbohydrates called?
The general answer is "hexose".
Which hexose is also know as dextose?
Glucose is also called detxtose.
What is a six-carbon sugar called?
Such common sugar is Glucose C6H12O6 but Fructose, Glactose and Mannose also have the same formula.
Is maltose a pentose?
No, fructose is a hexose sugar, it is made up of 6 carbons.
Is glucose an hexose?
Hexose sugar are monosaccharides containing six carbon back bone in it.
What is the main function of the hexose monophosphate shunt in the erythrocyte?
erythrocyte membrane lipid prone to oxidative damage caused by free redicals. HMP pathway produce NADP+ H which provide reducing equivalent to antioxidant like catalase, supeoxide dismutase and glutathione.
What is another name for a 6 carbon sugar?
hexose
Which hexose is also known as dextrose?
D-glucose.
How many ATP be produced from a molecule of hexose?
two
What is the difference between a hexose and a pentose?
The primary difference between a pentose and a hexose is the obvious difference in the carbon content of each. A hexose, by definition, contains five carbons in its central ring, a hexose contains six. Examples of a hexose is the energy molecule glucose while an example of a pentose is ribose, a structural sugar that helps make up DNA.
