Question
Chapter 22, Problem 22.82GP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The liver cell is to synthesise new glucose via gluconeogenesis and muscle cell use glucose via glycolysis, why this good physiological strategy for your body, the reason should be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Gluconeogenesis, it is the metabolic process by which glucose (or) glycogen is synthesized from non-carbohydrate precursors,
- Lactate is anaerobic
metabolism - Glycogenic amino acids, it is undergoes for protein degradation.
- Glycerol (Lipolysis)
- Propionyl-CoA
Glycolysis: This is one of biochemical pathway that breakdown a molecules of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate and producing for some energy.
Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm and has two major phases.
- Energy investment phase
- Energy payoff phase

Students have asked these similar questions
Glucose is the only carbohydrate that the brain can use for energy. Which pathway is mobilized to supply the need of the brain during starvation?: a.) glycolysis b.) gluconeogenesis or c.) glycogenesis? Explain.
Why does epinephrine stimulate glycolysis? I know why epinephrine stimulates glycogenolysis which is to release glucose stores. But epinephrine stimulating glycolysis seems counterintuitive as it would synthesize less glucose and more pyruvate?
Why is glucose provided by glycogenolysis in the liver but not in skeletal muscle?
