Chapter 23 Gluconeogenesis Gluconeogenesis, con't

gluconeogenesis  The first step of gluconeogenesis that bypasses an irreversible step of glycolysis, namely the reaction catalyzed by pyruvate kinase, is the Gluconeogenesis is an overall exergonic process which may seem confusing since glucose is being formed However, note in the reaction equation that there are

Your body cannot convert fatty acids to glucose Only amino acids Gluconeogenesis is when protein is converted to glucose The notion that it refers to fats Gluconeogenesis is the formation of new glucose molecules in the body as opposed to glucose that is broken down from the long storage

Gluconeogenesis is not simply the reverse of glycolysis; it utilizes unique enzymes (pyruvate carboxylase, PEPCK, fructose-1,6- bisphosphatase, and glucose-6- Gluconeogenesis Gluconeogenesis is essentially a reversal of glycolysis, and the primary substrates for gluconeogenesis are pyruvate, lactate
