In gluconeogenesis, pyruvate is converted to PEP in tworeactions. These reactions include an initial carboxylationfollowed by a decarboxylation in the second reaction. Based onthese two reactions, you would assume that if radio-labeled 14CO2was present in the reactions, it would not be incorporated intoPEP. However, when 14CO2 is present with rat liver cells 14C slowlybegins to appear in PEP and eventually on carbons 3 and 4 ofglucose. Diagram a series of reactions that would explain thisobservation. You need to clearly show the location of theradiolabeled 14C in all reactions and indicate any changes inlocalization with the cells
