Pyruvate is used to generate glucose through a reversal of the glycolytic reactions under specific conditions. Name two physiological conditions when gluconeogenesis occurs and name which molecules are used under these conditions to yield pyruvate in the liver.
Homework Answers
Two physiological condition when gluconeogenesis occur-
1) During starvation for long time especially glucose starvation; Liver glycogen is the major substrate or molecules used under above mentioned condition to yields pyruvate in Liver.
2) During excessive workout for long time; Lactate from muscles that are produced due to anoxic condition at muscles act as molecules that's used to yields pyruvate in Liver.
There are also other conditions and molecules like amino acids (alanine, glutamine); triglycerides can be used for pyruvate production.

under anaerobic conditions, i.e. during vigorous exercise, when hemoglobin is not able to supply adequate amounts of oxygen to your tissues, your muscles accumulate lactate derived pyruvate. This reaction is very favorable, thus the reversal would not be favorable. However, in the liver the reaction can easily be reversed and lactate can serve as a substrate for gluconeogenesis. Explain how this is accomplish

A suspension of yeast cells is being grown under anaerobic conditions such that glucose is degraded to ethanol and carbon dioxide. Adding an inhibitor of alcohol dehydrogenase to the yeast cell suspension results in rapid cell death. Why? a.) Without alcohol dehydrogenase, the acetaldehyde concentration increases to levels that are toxic to the yeast cells. b.) NADH generated during glycolysis cannot be recycled back to NAD+, thus anaerobic ATP production through glycolysis cannot be maintained. c.) Pyruvate is no longer...

In a "pulse chase" experiment under anaerobic conditions, 14C glucose is added to an ethanol-producing yeast cell extract just long enough that each intermediate in the ethanol fermentation is labeled with a 14C (pulse). The 14C label is then diluted so that no additional radioactivity is incorporated into the intermediates (chase). 1. What position in ethanol will be labeled with 14C if 14C-glucose labeled at position C-1 is used? 2. Where should the 14C label sit in glucose for it...
