During gluconeogenesis, why would the cell want to have the function of the fructose-6-
bisphosphate phosphatase be negatively regulated by high levels of AMP?
fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase converts fructose 1,6-bisphosphate to fructose 6-phosphate in gluconeogenesis. this enzyme is negatively controlled by high levels of AMP, i.e, high levels of AP inhibits the action of this enzyme.
when the cell has high levels of AMP (which means a low concentration of ATP), it needs to produce ATP. ATP is produced in the glycolytic pathway (gluconeogenesis requires ATP). under this condition, it is clear that the cell needs glycolysis but not gluconeogenesis. hence, it inhibits fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase, thereby inhibiting gluconeogenesis.

During the EMP pathway, why would the cell want the pyruvate kinase be positively regulated by high levels of fructose-6-phosphate?
After eating, elevated levels of fructose 6-phosphate will stimulate ["phosphoprotein phosphatase or Protein kinase A (PKA)"]. This causes the dephosphorylation of the the phosphofructokinase 2/fructose 2,6-bisphosphate polypeptide to stimulate the activity of ["phosphofructokinase 2 or fructose 2,6-bisphosphatase"].This results in an increase of ["fructose 6-phosphate or fructose 2,6-bisphosphate"] and activation of ["glycolysis or gluconeogenesis"] . Choose one of the answers in the brackets.

The primary regulatory point of gluconeogenesis is____? a. glucose-6-phosphatase b. fructose-1,6-biphosphatase c. fuctose-2,6-biphosphatase d. pyruvate carboxylase (wrong answer) e. PEP carboxykinase Please explain why pyruvate carboxylase is wrong (isn't it one of the regulatory points, is it wrong because it isn't the primary one? and if so, how do you know what the primary one is?) and state the right answer and an explanation as to why.
Explain in detail how PFK-1, hexokinase, glucokinase, pyruvate kinase, glucose-6-phosphatase, fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase-1, pyruvate carboxylase & PEPCK are regulated & compare their regulation in liver vs. skeletal muscle & brain when blood glucose levels are high (i.e. a fed state) & low (i.e. a fasting or starvation state).
6. An organism is found to have an alternative enzyme step in glycolysis, shown below: Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate -> two 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate a. Write the corresponding reactions this would replace in glycolysis b. Would glycolysis in this organism be more efficient? c. Would other pathways or other parts of the cell be affected by this change?
A highly regulated reaction in glycolysis involves the addition
of a second phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate, which could be be
written as:
Fructose-6-phostphate + Pi à Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate + H2O
The ∆Go’ for this reaction is +16.8 kJ/mol
In a muscle cell at 37 oC, assume the concentration of
Fructose-6phosphate is 0.014 mM and the concentration of phosphate
