Which of the following metabolic pathways does not generate ATP ?
Glycolysis
TCA Cycle
Fatty Acid Oxidation
HMP Pathway
The pentose phosphate pathway is an alternative route for the metabolism of glucose. It does not lead to formation of ATP but  has  two  major  functions: 

 The  formation  of  NADPH for synthesis of fatty acids and steroids ,  and  maintaining  reduced  glutathione  for  antioxidant activity, and
 The synthesis of ribose for nucleotide and nucleic acid formation.
