Example Question #11 : Alternative Pathways
Which of the following is not a possible fate of glucose-6-phosphate?
Possible Answers:
It can become glucose
It can enter into the pentose phosphate pathway
It can become pyruvate
It can enter into the urea cycle
It can become lactate
Correct answer:
It can enter into the urea cycle
Explanation:
When glycogen is broken down, the individual units that are removed are glucose-1-phosphate units. These are then transformed into glucose-6-phosphate molecules which are of extreme biological importance because of their ability to enter various different pathways. These pathways include glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway. The urea cycle, however, has to do with amino acids/proteins.
