Gluconeogenesis- Steps, Reactions and Significance
Gluconeogenesis is the production of glucose from non-sugar precursors. Gluconeogenesis, mainly occurs in the liver, and involves the synthesis of glucose from compounds that are not carbohydrates. When a cell is growing on a hexose such as glucose, and obtaining glucose for polysaccharide synthesis, there is no problem. But when the cell is growing on other carbon compounds, glucose must …
