Question
Chapter 16, Problem 45P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Consequences of less sensitivity of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase for fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Glycolysis is the process that occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. It is the breakdown of one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvic acid. During this process, energy is released in the form of two moles of ATP. The purpose of glycolysis is to maintain the blood glucose level.

Malate can be transferred into the cytosol and interconverted in one enzymatic step to produce [oxaloacetate/glucose/PEP/pyruvate] for use in the pathway of [glycolysis/gluconeogenesis]. A product of the urea cycle, derived from aspartate, can also be converted to malate in one enzymatic step and shuttled into the mitochondria so that the urea cycle product can be used in [fatty acid synthesis/the citric acid cycle/β-oxidation]. The amino group from aspartate can be transferred to [oxalacetate/malate/fumarate/pyruvate/a- ketoglutarate] to form glutamate, which is then transported into the mitochondria. In fact many amino acids are transaminated in this way to form glutamate in the cytosol. In this way, incoming amino acids from the bloodstream can be shuttled into the liver mitochondria as glutamate for conversion by glutamate dehydrogenase to [glutamate/a-ketoglutarate…arrow_forward
