  • a)  Review Questions

    1. Define Glycolysis and Gluconeogenesis.  What are the inputs and outputs of each of the pathways?

    2. If both pathways were simultaneously active within a cell it would constitute a "futile cycle" that would waste energy. How does the cell prevent this?

    3. Differentiate between aerobic and anaerobic glycolysis.

    4. Explain the role of insulin and glucagon in control of blood glucose

    5. GNG is associated with ketosis. Explain.

    6. Explain the three metabolic fates of pyruvate in living organisms.

    7. Explain the role of Krebs cycle in energy generation?

    8. Define oxidative phosphorylation.

    9. Write an equation summarizing the Krebs cycle

    10. How many ATP are produced in the formation of acetyl CoA?
