The path of carbon through glycolysis and gluconeogenesis is shown in the figure. Answer two questions about the regulation of gluconeogenesis. Which step of gluconeogenesis is the main negative control point? Use the numbering system in the image. Select all of the compounds that inhibit the enzyme in this step in the liver. ATP insulin AMP glucose-6-phosphate acetyl-CoA fructose-2,6-bisphosphate

Label the image illustrating the routes by which cells convert glucose to pyruvate and obtain important intermediates. Below each pathway, targets are provided to indicate the net yield of reducing power (NADH and/or NADPH) and ATP. You may need to scroll down to see all labels (there are 7 total).

The metabolic function of the pentose phosphate pathway is: - generate NADPH and pentoses for the biosynthesis of fatty acids and nucleic acids - provide intermediates for the citric acid cycle - participate in oxidation-reduction reactions during the formation of H2O - act as a source of ADP biosynthesis Aside from the function of the mitochondrial ATP synthase to make ATP, this enzyme also: - transports inorganic phosphate across the inner mitochondrial membrane - transports protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane - transports electrons - transports ADP and ATP across the inner mitochondrial membrane
