Interpretation:
The number of steps in gluconeogenesis which are not the exact reversal of the steps in glycolysis, the kind of conversion of substrate to product involve in each of these processes and the common theme in these reactions should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Glycolysis: This is the
Gluconeogenesis: This process of synthesis of glucose or glycogen from non-carbohydrate sources is called gluconeogenesis.
Substrate for gluconeogenesis
- Glycogenic amino acid
- Glycerol
- Pyruvate
- Lactate
- Intermediate of TCA cycle.

- Why are some enzymes needed only in the gluconeogenesis pathway and not in the glycolysis pathway?arrow_forwardWhy is it important that gluconeogenesis is not the exactreverse of glycolysis?arrow_forwardWhy is pyruvate carboxylase constitutive and active in both glycolysis and gluconeogenesis?arrow_forward
- Gluconeogenesis is like glycolysis but in reverse. Name the 4 enzymes that are responsible for this process. What is its final product?arrow_forwardHow does the role of glucose-6- phosphate in gluconeogenesis differ from that in glycolysis?arrow_forwardIs the statement much of the regulation of gluconeogenesis a result of the inhibition of glycolysis incorrect or correct?arrow_forward
- Why is there such a large range of ∆G for the second step of glycolysis?arrow_forwardFructose can enter glycolysis by hexokinase. If fructose is used for glycolysis what enzyme can be skipped in glycolysis? And why can this enzyme be skipped if fructose is used for glycolysis?arrow_forwardWhat is the glycolytic substrate responsible for the entry of Mannose in the preparatory stage of glycolysis? How?arrow_forward
- The glycerol derived from lipolysis of triacylglycerols is converted into glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, which then enters into step 6 of the glycolysis pathway. What further transformations are necessary to convert glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate into pyruvate?arrow_forwardHow many enyzymatic reactions are there in glycolysis pathway?arrow_forward
