Chapter 22, Problem 22.66AP
Interpretation Introduction

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 metabolic process that serves as the foundation for both aerobic and anaerobic cellular respiration, in glycolysis, glucose is converted into pyruvate. Glucose is a six-membered ring molecule found in the blood and is usually a result of the breakdown of carbohydrates into sugars.  It enters cells though specific transporter proteins that moves it from outside the cell into the cell cytosol.

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.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
How many steps in gluconeogenesis are not the exact reversal of the steps in glycolysis? What kind of conversion of substrate to product does each involve? What is the common theme in each of these reactions?
Which steps of glycolysis are irreversible? What bearing does this observation have on the reactions in which gluconeogenesis differs from glycolysis?
Why is it important that gluconeogenesis is not the exact reversal of glycolysis?
