Question
Chapter 16, Problem 40P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for the lack of glucose-6-phosphatase in muscles and brain is a good sign of a healthy body should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Gluconeogenesis is the process of conversion of lactic acid back into glucose. This process uses energy in the form of 6 NTP molecules, hence, it is endogenic in nature. This process is responsible for increasing the blood glucose level when glucose levels fall down in blood.
