phosphofructokinase reaction of Fructose-2,6-bisphosphate is a regulator of both glycolysis and gluconeogenesis for the glycolysis and the fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase reaction of gluconeogenesis. In turn, the concentration of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate is regulated by many hormones, second messengers, and enzymes.

In glycolysis, the conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to pyruvate is considered irreversible. Yet, in gluconeogenesis, this "irreverisble" reaction is bypassed and pyruvate is eventually converted to PEP. Explain how gluconeogenesis bypasses this irreverisble reaction. Include the enzymes required to convert pyruvate to PEP + the intermediate that is created. Imagine a scenario where the PDH complex has picked up an "activating" mutation causing it to convert pyruvate into acetyl CoA in an unregulated manner.There is way too much acetyl CoA than is actually necessary. Explain in a sentence or two how the body would compensate for this
Select all of the following that accurately apply to acyl-CoA synthetase and the transport of acyl-CoA through the carnitine transport system in the liver: 00 ☐☐☐☐ Acyl-CoA is formed when CoA serves as a nucleophile for attack of the fatty acyl-adenylate intermediate Fatty acid carbon skeletons are simultaneously used in the liver for beta oxidation and glucose biosynthesis The carnitine transport system is inhibited in the presence of high amounts of malonyl CoA The carrier protein carnitine replaces CoA in the transport of fatty acyl groups across the inner- mitochondrial membrane and allows acyl-CoA reformation in the matrix Increased need for beta oxidation allows for decreased transport of fatty acids via the carnitine transport system The formation of acyl-CoA by acyl-CoA synthetase involves the use of 2 equivalents of ATP - (1) an ATP used for activation of fatty acyl-adenylate and (2) an equivalent of ATP in the form of pyrophosphate hydrolysis
Identify the three important products of the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway AND indicate how EACH product may be used within the cell.
