Work Sheet 24
Gluconeogenesis
/ Pentose Phosphate Pathway
1. Identify the three
main functions of the pentose phosphate
pathway.
2. Identify the enzymes of glutathione metabolism and the relationship
of this metabolism to the pentose pathway and protection of the cell against
oxidants.
3. Identify gluconeogenic precursors, products and enzymes and their general pathways of metabolism. Pay particular attention
to those reactions that differ from glycolysis.
4. Describe the Cori and glucose-alanine cycles,
and their relationship to
