Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The starting molecule and product for 2 steps of gluconeogenesis should be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
The metabolic process by which sugars are produced from non-carbohydrates by a catabolic process is known as Gluconeogenesis.
(b)
Interpretation:
The starting molecule and product for the 5th step of gluconeogenesis should be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
Metabolism may be defined as the process of breakdown of nutrients into smaller molecules (catabolic process) and the combination of smaller molecules to form complex molecules (anabolic process) to provide energy.
The metabolic process by which sugars are produced from non-carbohydrates by a catabolic process is known as Gluconeogenesis.
(c)
Interpretation:
The starting molecule and product for 8th step of gluconeogenesis should be predicted.
