Chapter 16, Problem 41P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of NTP and NADH molecules required to produce glucose from two molecules of pyruvate should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Gluconeogenesis is the process of conversion of lactic acid back into glucose. This process uses energy in the form of 6 NTP molecules, hence, it is endogenic in nature. This process is responsible for increasing the blood glucose level when glucose levels fall down in blood.
