Hello, does someone have a clear drawing that expresses all the biochemical pathways ( gluconeogenesis, glycolysis, ETC, citric acid cycle, glycogen synthesis, Cori cycle, the liver) how they are all integrated together?
ETC
glycolysis: It is the formation of pyruvate molecule from glucose molecule .
Gluconeogenesis : formation of glucose from non carbohydrate source.
When pyruvate is formed in glycolysis it enters citric acid cycle where high electron carriers NADH , FADH2 are formed which then enters in ETC and ATP are produced.
During starvation condition pyruvate convert back into glucose to provide energy.
During vigorous physical exercise pyruvate is converted into lactate in muscles which is transported again to liver and convert back to glucose through gluconeogenesis.
Glucose is stored in animals in the form of glycogen.It is stored mainly in muscles or liver.
