Gluconeogenesis Concept Map Overview
Gluconeogenesis is the synthesis of new glucose from non-carbohydrate precursors, mainly in the liver and, to a lesser extent, the kidney. A concept map of gluconeogenesis divides into its starting substrates, the shared steps of glycolysis run in reverse, the three irreversible bypass reactions, and the hormonal and allosteric controls that switch the pathway on or off.
- Substrates: lactate, glycerol, glucogenic amino acids and propionyl-CoA
- Shared steps: reversible glycolysis reactions run in reverse
- Bypass enzymes: pyruvate carboxylase, PEP carboxykinase, fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, glucose-6-phosphatase
- Regulation: glucagon, insulin, acetyl-CoA and AMP effects
Use the map to trace where each carbon enters and which enzymes control flux, then revise by expanding any branch you find hard. You can generate a personalized gluconeogenesis map with CogniGuide from your own notes.
Gluconeogenesis Concept Map FAQs
Answers on the pathway and on building your own map.
Where does gluconeogenesis take place?
Mainly in the liver cytoplasm and mitochondria, with some activity in the kidney cortex. Some steps, including pyruvate carboxylase, start in the mitochondria, while the rest of the pathway runs in the cytosol.
Why are there bypass reactions in gluconeogenesis?
Three glycolytic steps are essentially irreversible, so gluconeogenesis uses different enzymes to bypass them. These are pyruvate carboxylase with PEP carboxykinase, fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase and glucose-6-phosphatase.
Which file types can I use to make a gluconeogenesis map?
You can upload PDF, Word (DOCX), PowerPoint (PPTX), text or Markdown files, or an image of your notes. You can also just type the topic.
Is it free to create a gluconeogenesis concept map?
Yes. The free plan allows 5 creations a week with no payment needed, and paid plans raise the limits. You can also turn the finished map into a quiz.
