The gluconeogenic route has the metabolic benefit of supplying glucose from the liver when it is required in the blood, for example, between meals or following an intense physical activity when blood lactate levels are high accumulate.
- A metabolic process known as gluconeogenesis (GNG) produces glucose from specific carbon sources that are not carbohydrates. It is a universal process that occurs in all living things, including fungi, bacteria, and other microbes.
- The process of metabolizing glucose is known as glycolysis. You can have glycolysis with or without oxygen. Two molecules of pyruvate, two molecules of ATP, two molecules of NADH, and two molecules of water are produced during glycolysis. The cytoplasm is the location of glycolysis. The breakdown of sugar involves 10 enzymes.
- Oxygen can be present or absent during glycolysis. Glycolysis is the initial phase of cellular respiration when oxygen is present. Through a process of fermentation, glycolysis enables cells to produce minute amounts of ATP in the absence of oxygen.
Gluconeogenesis has the metabolic benefit over glycolysis.
