Why do we need ATP in chemical reactions?
ATP transports energy in the cell. Chemical reactions need energy to occur. Energy is used to increase the rate of chemical reactions. The presence of energy ensure the chemical reaction to occurs.
Describe Gluconeogenesis using lactate
Lactate is the substrate for gluconeogenesis same as pyruvate. Gluconeogenesis is the formation of new glucose from lactate when blood sugars level are low. Lactate is the byproduct of glycolysis process in muscle.
How are glycolysis and gluconeogenesis differ?
Glycolysis is the process of breaking down the glucose into two molecules of pyruvate while gluconeogenesis is the process of synthesis glucose from two molecules of pyruvate. Glycolysis is occur when the glucose found in the body is too much more than the body need while the gluconeogenesis occurs when the glucose provide is not enough to power the need of cells.
What is glycogenolysis?
Glycogenolysis is the process that occurs primarily in liver, which is stimulated by hormones glucagon and epinephrine, at which glycogen (primary carbohydrate) that stored in liver and muscle cells of animals broken down into glucose to provide immediate energy and to maintain blood glucose level during fasting.
Describe Glycogenensis
Glycogenesis is the process of glycogen formation from glucose. Glycogen is synthesized depending on the demand for glucose and ATP. If glucose and ATP are present in high amounts, excess insulin will promotes the glucose conversion into glycogen for storage in liver and muscle cells. One ATP required for glucose incorporated into polymeric branched structure of glycogen.
