Gluconeogenesis

3. rearranges into glyceraldehyde.
5. houses the enzymes that convert phosphoenolpyruvate
7. is a hyperglycemic hormone, stimulates gluconeogenesis
9. can convert to
12. is converted to malate or aspartate, which travels to the cytosol and is reconverted to oxaloacetate.
13. blood cells, that are completely dependent on anaerobic glycolysis for ATP production production
14. It is involved in sugar and acid metabolism, increases immunity,
16. The production of glucose
18. is a process used when there is insufficient glucose in the body.
19. precursors include lactate, glycerol, alanine.
20. carboxylase converts pyruvate to oxaloacetate in the mitochondrion

1. Within a cell, mitochondria convert pyruvate into oxaloacetate
2. in mitochondria or cytoplasm.
4. occurs in the liver and kidneys.
6. glucose-6-phosphate
8. It is produced from pyruvate by
10. acid metabolism, and synthesis of carbohydrate derived structural components.
11. carboxylase, PEP carboxykinase and malate dehydrogenase are the three enzymes responsible for this conversion.
15. defective metabolism of the sugar
17. critical for organs and cells that cannot use fat for fuel.
