Maintaining blood glucose levels is an important homeostatic activity of the body, not specifically because every cell of the body must have glucose but primarily because the brain relies on glucose for its metabolism. Because the different cells of the body can use fats and proteins for metabolism, our bodies are able to maintain normal function of all of their tissues between meals by employing many different metabolic pathways to ensure a proper balance of nutrients in circulation.Match following metabolic pathways with the correct category as indicated by the location of the cell where they occur. 1. Gluconeogenesis 2. Pyruvate processing to acetyl COA 3. Electron transport chain 4. Pyruvate conversion to lactate 5. Citric acid cycle 6. Glycolysis a) Cytoplasm b) Mitochondria

Respuesta :

Answer:

1)Gluconeogenesis- (b) Mitochondria

2)Pyruvate processing to acetyl COA - (b) Mitochondria

3) Electron transport chain- (b) mitochondria

4)Pyruvate conversion to lactate - (b) mitochondria

5) citric acid cycle - (b) mitochondria

6) glycolysis- (a) cytoplasm

Explanation:

Metabolism is used to describe all chemical reactions involved in maintaining the living state of the cells and the organism. Which can either be the break down (catabolism) or build up (anabolism).

Gluconeogenesis is a process by which carbohydrate is synthesized from non‐carbohydrate precursors like oxaloacetate and pyruvate. Pyruvate converted into lactate is used during gluconeogenesis, this process same as pyruvate processing to acetyl COA (used in citric cycle) occurs in the mitochondria of the cell. Gluconeogenesis starts in the mitochondria of the cells and involves several steps.

While, Glycolysis is the process of converting glucose into energy.this occurs within the cytoplasm of the mitochondria. Glycolysis is one process that breaks products down, so it creates energy.

The various processes helps maintain hemostasis.
