Chapter 19: Gluconeogenesis & the Control of Blood Glucose

gluconeogenesis  Gluconeogenesis is the process of glucose and glycogen biosynthesis from noncarbohydrate sources It is important to produce glucose when dietary carbohydrates Significance of gluconeogenesis Gluconeogenesis meets the needs of the body for glucose & maintains glucose Gluconeogenesis -

Gluconeogenesis is an important biochemical pathway that helps maintain a constant glucose supply for our cells Students make colorful models of the 11 enzymes Gluconeogenesis is defined as the net formation of glucose from non-carbohydrate precursors such as pyruvate, lactate, glycerol, and certain amino acids
