Biosynthesis of ascorbic acid in animals and plants
Only humans cannot synthesize ascorbic acid, but plants and animals are very good at this task. In plants, biosynthesis begins with D-glucose, D-fructose is obtained, after D-mannose, from which, through other processes, ascorbic acid is obtained.
In animals, this process occurs differently, everything starts with D-glucose and ends with ascorbic acid.
