A. Which steps and enzymes are targets of regulation in the metabolism and catabolism of glucose through glycolysis and gluconeogenesis?

Be sure to include what molecules are utilized in regulation and their potential effects in each pathway.

For the following scenarios, please explain in detail the effect on both glycolysis and gluconeogenesis, as well as the effects on any of the enzymes.

b. The cellular concentration of ATP increases
c. The cellular concentration of ATP decreases
d. The body has high blood sugar
e. The body has low blood sugar

Explanation:

a) Glycolysis: Glycolysis is an oxidative pathway to fulfill the energy demand of cell

Gluconeogenesis: It is the process which synthesizes glucose from  non carbohydrate material, fulfills the glucose requirement of cell

b) When cellular concentration of ATP increases then it means energy level is high in cell so glycolysis is suppressed and gluconeogensis is favored

c) When cellular concentration of ATP decreases then it means energy level is low in cell which favors glycolysis and suppress gluconeogenesis

d) High blood sugar releases insulin which favors glycolysis by increasing fructose 2,6 bisphosphate level and inhibits gluconeogenesis

e) Low blood sugar releases glucagon which inhibits glycolysis and stimulate breakdown of glycogen in liver cells and favors gluconeogenesis

emerging idea only occurs as a raw idea that could appear out of nowhere. meanwhile, to reach scientific consensus , that idea must be structured and tested over and over again through various experiments. the scientific consensus transforms the raw idea into idea that is more reliable through the process of scientific elimination.
