So glucose means glucose, neo means new molecules, and genesis means the formation. So the formation of these new glucose molecules by using the pyruvate or the lactic acid molecules. Now we see that glycolysis breaks down the glucose, but gluconeogenesis uses these byproducts to reform that glucose molecule. So one goes this way and the other one goes in reverse. So if the cell needs to break down glucose and produce ATP molecules, then what it does is basically shuts off gluconeogenesis. But if the cell has plenty amounts of ATP molecules and it doesn't actually want to break down the glucose, then gluconeogenesis is more likely to actually take place.
