Question

Considering the relationship in the first pair, complete the second pair by using a word or group of words:

Breakdown of glucose molecule : Glycolysis :: Formation of glucose from proteins : …………….

Answer 1

Answer:
Gluconeogenesis
Gluconeogenesis is a process that transforms non-carbohydrate substrates (such as lactate, amino acids, and glycerol) into glucose (Figure 1). Both lactate and alanine are first converted into pyruvate, which then enters the mitochondrion and is carboxylated to oxaloacetate (OAA) by pyruvate carboxylase (PC).
