And we form the NAD plus in its oxidized form. And now the malade can move across the two membranes of the mitochondria by using special proteins and eventually enter the cytoplasm. And once it enters the cytoplasm before it can basically react in step two of Gluconeogenesis, that malade has to be transformed back into oxyloacetate by using that same enzyme malade malade dehydrogenase. But now, instead of using NADH, we're using NAD plus because we basically want to oxidize the malade back into oxyloacetate, producing that reduced version of the NAD molecule. So let's take a look at step two. Now, remember, in step one, the entire goal was to use the highly exergonic process of the hydrolysis of ATP to basically drive the endergonic process of the attachment of the CO2 molecule onto that Pyruvate.
