Concept explainers
Interpretation: To determine the intermediate that is involved in gluconeogenesis but not in glycolysis.
Concept introduction: Glycolysis
In the gluconeogenesis pathway, glucose is produced from non-carbohydrate substances. The net overall equation for gluconeogenesis is as follows:
An intermediate is defined as the transient species that is formed from the reactants in the preceding step and gets consumed in the subsequent steps to generate the products. An intermediate is formed within a multi-step reaction mechanism.
