HLTH 217 - Gluconeogenesis

Is it anabolic or catabolic?

Overall an anabolic reaction because you are taking smaller molecules such as pyruvate to make glucose

Why is gluconeogenesis not a complete reversal of glycolysis?

Several reactions differ because the equilibrium of glycolysis lies far on the side of pyruvate formation. 

Specifics:

What happens in most cases of gluceogenesis ending

It ends with glucose 6-phosphate cause free glucose can be generated as most tissues lack the enzyme glucose 6-phosphatatse. It instead be converted into glycogen or used for biosynthesis of other molecules eg nucleotides. 

Liver glycolysis/gluceogenesis regulation  

What is the key regulation site of gluconeogensis pathway

coversion of furctose 6-phosphate to fructose 1,6-biphosphate.

How is glycolysis/gluconeogenesis controlled in the liver?

Hormones that are sensitive to blood-glucose concentration. the concentration of fructose 2,6-biphosphate acticates or inhibits enzymes to slow or speed up
