Why gluconeogenesis cannot be considered a reversal of glycolysis even though both pathways share reversible reactions?

In glycolysis you get pyruvate (or lactate) as a end product but in gluconeogenesis you get glucose formed from either Fat or Proteins. There are many intermediate steps before pyruvate is formed from Proteins and Fats. So gluconeogenesis cannot be considered as reversal of glycolysis.

What reactions do photosynthesis and glycolysis have in common?
No
What chemical reactions performed by the liver create sugars from noncarbohydrate sources such as fats and proteins?
glycogenesisLoading...Gluconeogenesis
Which are more in nature reversible or irreversible chemical reactions?
irreversible
What reversable reactions occur in the container?
There are a couple reversible reactions that occur in the container. For example, one of the reactions is that gas can be reversed to a solid.
What are the two terms that are anaerobic chemical reactions?
Alcoholic fermentation Glycolysis
What chemical reactions are reversible?
All physical changes are reversible.
Is the reaction reversible?
chemical reactions are irreversible but physical changes are reversible
What reactions do photosynthesis and glycolysis have in common?
No
Why reversible reactions never complete?
Because reversible reactions are continuting process as well two way process.reactant n product convert into one another and in this way reaction will continue.
Where in a eukaryotic cell do the reactions of glycolysis occur?
In the cytoplasm.
What reversible and irreversible reactions can you find at home?
Cooking involve irreversible chemical reactions.
In glycolysis many reactions occur what is the main outcome of these reactions?
Glucose is broken down into pyruvate.
What chemical reactions performed by the liver create sugars from noncarbohydrate sources such as fats and proteins?
glycogenesisLoading...Gluconeogenesis
What is the function of fermentation reactions?
to generate from , so glycolysis can continue
Does glycolysis have steps involving oxidation-reduction reactions?
yes
Why is cellular respiration considered to be much more efficent than glycolysis?
Because enzymes act as barriers in reactions making it more prone from sickness.... welcome
