Design a radiotracer experiment that would allow you to determine which proportion of glucose catabolism in a given tissue preparation occurs through the pentose phosphate pathway and which proportion through glycolysis and the citric acid cycle. Assume that you can synthesize glucose labeled with l4C in any desired position or combination of positions. Assume also that you can trap CO2 after administration of labeled glucose and determine its radioactivity.
