So gluconeogenesis bypasses step ten V, a two step reaction pathway that involves the oxalo acetate intermediate. And if we sum up those two steps, this is a reaction reaction that we're basically going to get. So Pyruvate plus ATP plus GTP plus the water molecule gives us that pet molecule that we want, the ADP, GDP, an orthophosphate and two H plus ions. And this makes this reaction an exergonic reaction, unlike this reaction that would be an endorganic reaction. Now, by the same exact reasoning, steps three and one are also bypassed by using this step and this step respectfully. So in each one of these steps, we basically use a simple hydrolysis reaction and we'll talk about the details of that in the next lecture.
