Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Glycolysis a catabolic process of breakdown of sugar and gluconeogenesis-an Anabolic process involving biosynthesis of sugar are never, the exact inverse of each other.

What are coupled reactions and why does coupling occur?
Trypanosomes living in the bloodstream obtain all their free energy from glycolysis. They take up glucose from the host’s blood and excrete pyruvate as a waste product. In this part of their life cycle, trypanosomes do not carry out any oxidative phosphorylation, but they do use another oxygen-dependent pathway, which is absent in mammals, to oxidize NADH. Would this pathway be necessary if the trypanosome excreted lactate rather than pyruvate? Explain.
