6. In an experiment, students used liver tissuc samples to study the cthanolmetabolism and the possibility of ethanol conversion into glucose. The ethanolintroduction in the investigated medium didn't lead to glucose level increase.Why is it impossible to convert ethanol to glucose? For the answer:a) provide a scheme of gluconcogenesis, indicate the substrates of this process;b) write the reaction of ethanol oxidation in the liver;c) explain whether it is possible to use the metabolites of ethanol catabolism forthe glucose synthesis.

The primary source of energy for the body is glucose, which is absorbed from meals in the intestine.…
