Question
Chapter 12.4, Problem 1MI
Summary Introduction
Gluconeogenesis is the metabolic process in which glucose is generated from a non-carbohydrate source like proteins and fats. Gluconeogenesis occurs when the person is under intense starvation, by that time body reserve fat will be highly utilized for energy production. Gluconeogenesis burns calories and produce ATP as energy source. Gluconeogenesis process involves several enzymatic pathways.

- Antifungal Activity of Red Dragon Peel (Hylocereus polyrhizus)ⓒ Rudi Hendra et al 2020 IOP Conf. Ser.: Mater. Sci. Eng. 833 012014 STATE THE HYPOTHESIS (In if-then format): Plants, when extracted, can produce dyes and the extracts have been used for different purposes such as the textile or food industry [1]. One potential plant that can be used as a natural dye is dragon fruit (Hylocereus cacti) or by another name Pitaya. Wybraniec and coworkers reported that dragon fruit has a potential as a source to produce red pigment and it's called betalains [2]. Betalain is a water-soluble pigment that gives color to flowers and fruits. Betalain pigments are divided into two groups, namely betacyanin which produces purplish red and betaxanthin which produce yellow-orange colors [2, 3]. In the dragon fruit peel, it is also containing pigments which are usually only discarded as food waste and have not been used optimally. This is very unfortunate because the fruit of the dragon fruit itself has…arrow_forwardCould you help propose a reasonable mechanism for the following biochemical transformation?arrow_forwardYeast Catalase Experiment Questions: 1) What is the purpose of having a 0ml hydrogen peroxide group in a yeast catalase experiment? 2) What reactants contain yeast catalase: H2O2 or yeast mixture? 3) What gas is being given when catalase and hydrogen peroxide react?arrow_forward
