Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Number of NTP molecules used in the conversion of glucose-6-phosphate to glucose is to 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.
(b)
Interpretation:
Number of NTP molecules used in conversion of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate to glucose is to 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.
(c)
Interpretation:
Number of NTP molecules used in the conversion of two molecules of oxaloacetate to glucose is to 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.
(d)
Interpretation:
Number of NTP molecules used in the conversion of two molecules of dihydroxyacetone phosphate to glucose is to 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.
