Gluconeogenesis is basically a process where non carbohydrate molecules such as triglycerides, glycerol and amino acids are made available in the liver to make sugar. Glucose is the preferred source of energy for our body. We breakdown macromolecules into glucose monomer to make ATP energy.

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 is the end product of fat and oil?

The end products of fat digestion are fatty acids and glycerol.


How glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis are alike?

because at the end of both metabolic processes glucose is produced.


What is the formation of glucose from proteins and fats?

Gluconeogenesis


What is the difference between glycolysis and gluconeogenesis?

1. Glycolysis is anabolic pathway but Gluconeogenesis is catabolic patway 2. Glycolysis produce net 2ATP but Gluconeogenesis consume net 6ATP per glucose molecule 3. Glycolysis catabolizing sugars/polysaccharides but Gluconeogenesis synthesizing sugars/polysachharides 4. In Glycolysis, Glucose is Substrate & Pyruvate is By-Product but in Gluconeogenesis is vice versa By-Helmi Zolkeflay


What is the process called when making glucose from non carbohydrate substances within the liver?

gluconeogenesis


What are the precursors to produce gluconeogenesis?

The precursors for gluconeogenesis include lactate, glycerol, and glucogenic amino acids. These substrates can be converted into pyruvate, which then enters the gluconeogenesis pathway to produce glucose.


What promotes gluconeogenesis?

Cortisol


How fructose-1-phosphate inhibit gluconeogenesis?

The fructose-1-phosphate inhibits gluconeogenesis through the enzyme aldolase.


What is anabolic role of gluconeogenesis?

The anabolic role of gluconeogenesis is to break new glucose molecules from non-carbohydrate precursors.


What is the effect of alcohol on gluconeogenesis?

Increased ethanol will give increased NADH. Because NADH levels are higher, the body will produce more pyruvate and less lactate. Since lactate is a precursor for gluconeogenesis, gluconeogenesis will decrease.


What is the starting material for gluconeogenesis?

The starting material for gluconeogenesis is usually pyruvate, which can be converted into glucose through a series of enzymatic reactions. Other precursors such as lactate, amino acids, and glycerol can also be used to generate glucose through gluconeogenesis.
