Gluconeogenesis

3. in mitochondria or cytoplasm.
8. glucose-6-phosphate
10. It is produced from pyruvate by
13. occurs in the liver and kidneys.
14. carboxylase, PEP carboxykinase and malate dehydrogenase are the three enzymes responsible for this conversion.
15. is converted to malate or aspartate, which travels to the cytosol and is reconverted to oxaloacetate.
18. The production of glucose
19. rearranges into glyceraldehyde.
20. precursors include lactate, glycerol, alanine.

1. acid metabolism, and synthesis of carbohydrate derived structural components.
2. Within a cell, mitochondria convert pyruvate into oxaloacetate
4. is a process used when there is insufficient glucose in the body.
5. carboxylase converts pyruvate to oxaloacetate in the mitochondrion
6. can convert to
7. houses the enzymes that convert phosphoenolpyruvate
9. defective metabolism of the sugar
11. is a hyperglycemic hormone, stimulates gluconeogenesis
12. It is involved in sugar and acid metabolism, increases immunity,
16. critical for organs and cells that cannot use fat for fuel.
17. blood cells, that are completely dependent on anaerobic glycolysis for ATP production production
