Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate is dephosphorylated by ________________ to fructose-6-phosphate.

How do low-carb diets work? We store glucose molecules in our muscles and liver as glycogen, which consists of thousands of glucose molecules linked together. During periods of fasting, we can activate glycogen to provide glucose.

(b) Individuals who do not eat carbohydrates do not store the same levels of glycogen as people who do. Explain the weight loss associated with storing less glycogen.

The following metabolites are present both in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis, except:

Which molecule is added to pyruvate and then removed in the next reaction?

Enzyme responsible for decarboxylation and phosphate transfer in the same gluconeogenic reaction is:

Which of the following statement(s) correctly describes the Cori cycle?

What is the purpose of the Cori cycle?

Outline the conditions that direct pyruvate toward the following:

d. Glucose synthesis (gluconeogenesis)

In what tissues or organisms is each pathway present?

How many steps in gluconeogenesis are not the exact reversal of the steps in glycolysis? What kind of conversion of substrate to product does each involve? What is the common theme in each of these reactions?
