(a)
Interpretation:
Name of the substrate and the product should be identified in glycolysis process.
Concept Introduction:
Glycolysis process: This process breakdown of glucose into pyruvic acid, this whole process generates two ATP’s.
This process serves as the foundation for both aerobic and anaerobic
Glucose is a six membered ring molecule founded in the blood and is usually a result of the breakdown of carbohydrates into sugars.
(b)
Interpretation:
Name of the substrate and the product should be identified in gluconeogenesis process.
Concept Introduction:
Gluconeogenesis is the process of formation of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources. The process occurs only in liver and kidney, partially occurs in cytoplasm and in mitochondria.

- List all of the regulatory enzymes from both Glycolysis and Gluconeogenesis, and under each, list the (-) inhibitors and the (+) activators.arrow_forwardDEFINE THE FOLLOWING TERMS: a) Gluconeogenesis b) Glycolysis c) Citric Acid Cycle Please explain this in-detailed and longer, thank you.arrow_forwardDuring starvation, the glycerol backbone of triacylglycerols can be used to make glucose. What metabolite of glycerol enters gluconeogenesis? OA) Dihydroxyacetone phosphate. O B) Pyruvate. OC) Oxaloacetate. OD) 1,3-Bisphosphoglycerate.arrow_forward
- In simple terms explain why gluconeogenesis is important?arrow_forward(a) What amino acid, other than alanine, can be converted by transaminationto a gluconeogenic precursor? (b) Calculate the cost, in ATP equivalents, of converting two molecules of this amino acid to one molecule of glucose.arrow_forwarda) Identify three differences between glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. b) Why should we avoid just seeing these processes of reversals of each other?arrow_forward
- Q) Glycolysis and Gluconeogenesis are regulated through differential regulation a) What does differential regulation mean? b) Provide an example of a differential regulator from glycolysis (vs gluconeogenesis) • State what enzyme it regulates in glycolysis and what kind of regulator it is • In less than 10 words state what physiological conditions it signals.arrow_forwardIdentify the two stages of the pentose phosphate pathway, and explain how the pathway is coordinated with glycolysis and gluconeogenesis.arrow_forwardDetermine whether the following statements are true or false:- a) The pentose phosphate pathway of glucose conversion is a supplier of NADPH (H +) for reductive syntheses. b) An overdose of insulin causes hypoglycemia in a patient with diabetes mellitus. c) Fructose-6-phosphate is an allosteric regulator of glycolysis.arrow_forward
- Explain the effects of each of the following on gluconeogenesis and glycolysis in a liver cell. Mark whether the rate of each will increase (+), decrease (-), or remain the same (0).arrow_forwardIdentify the following as a characteristic of one or more following process: glycolysis, glycogenesis, Glycogenolysis, and gluconeogenesis. 1. Glucose 6-phosphate is the initial reactant 2. Glucose is the final product 3. Glucose 6-phosphate is produced in the first step 4. UTP is involved in the process 5. ADP is converted to ATP in this processarrow_forwardStarting with pyruvate (CH3COCOO—) as the precursor, the first step of gluconeogenesis is activation of pyruvate. Show the reaction for activation of pyruvate. Name the enzyme and coenzyme for this reaction. Why is the activation step necessary? What is the next step after the activation step?arrow_forward
