Question

glycerophosphate (glycerol-1-phosphate) is a product of the catabolism of phospholipids.

In principle, this could be used in glucose synthesis (in gluconeogenesis).

What would be the overall or net reaction for synthesis of glucose from glycerol-1-phosphate?

A. glycerol-1-phosphate + NAD(+) - - > glucose + NADH + H(+)

B. glycerol-1-phosphate + NAD(+) + H2O - - - > glucose + NADH + H(+) + Pi

C. 2 glycerol-1-phosphate + 2 NAD(+) + 2 H2O - - - > glucose + 2 NADH + 2 H(+) + 2 Pi

D. 2 glycerol-1-phosphate + 2 NADH + 2 H(+) + 2 H2O - - - > glucose + 2 NAD(+) + 2 Pi

Explanation / Answer

the overall or net reaction for synthesis of glucose from glycerol-1-phosphate would be,

C. 2 glycerol-1-phosphate + 2 NAD(+) + 2 H2O - - - > glucose + 2 NADH + 2 H(+) + 2 Pi
