Explain in detail how both glycolysis and gluconeogenesis can be irreversible cellular processes.
2. For the processes of glycogenesis, glycogenolysis, glycolysis, and gluconeogenesis, answer the aspects listed below: a) function of the process. b) cellular location of the process. c) biological importance. d) initial precursor and final product or products. e) energy considerations of the process.
What is not true about gluconeogenesis? Select one: a. Gluconeogenesis shares seven steps of glycolysis b. Three irreversible steps that differ between gluconeogenesis and glycolysis are far from equilibrium. c. Forming one glucose from pyruvate produces 4 ATP, 2 GTP and 2NADH d. Acetyl-CoA can be converted into glucose in plants and microbes, but not mammals. e. Gluconeogenesis and glycolysis are reciprocally regulated to prevent wasteful operation of both pathways at the same time. D and B are wrong answers...
1. Bypassing the pyruvate kinase reaction. Gluconeogenesis and glycolysis are opposing pathways that share seven enzymes. The exergonic steps in glycolysis cannot be simply reversed because that would be too energetically costly. Thus, these steps are "bypassed" in gluconeogenesis with a separate set of enzymes. a. Explain why the reaction catalyzed by pyruvate kinase is energetically favorable and essentially irreversible in the cells. b.Explain how the cells that run gluconeogenesis are able to bypass this step with specific reactions that...
The processes of gluconeogenesis and glycolysis are said to be reciprocally regulated. Reciprocal regulation means that a) molecules that activate or inhibit one process have the same effect on the other process. b) one cell predominantly uses glycolysis, whereas another predominantly uses gluconeogenesis. c) molecules that activate or inhibit one process have the opposite effect on the other process. d) opposing sets of molecules, such as ATP and AMP, have opposite effects on the process.
Biochemistry* Can someone explain to me how glycolysis is related to gluconeogenesis, and glycogenolysus? I’m having a difficult time putting together everything. Also, under what circumstances would our body choose one process over the other?? Basically, if someone could explajn the big picture! Thank you :)
What is the purpose of gluconeogenesis? How do gluconeogenesis and glycolysis differ? Why is regulation of these pathways important, and what is the role of ATP in regulation?
