It releases lots of energy. And so if we simply reverse the step in glycolysis, that would make it a very endergonic process in glucanogenesis. And so, once again, we see that this step actually follows a completely different pathway in glucanogenesis. And as we'll see, it actually involves five different proteins. So we know that step one takes place in the mitochondrial matrix, and these remaining steps up until step nine, all take place in a cytoplasm. And so let's begin in a cytoplasm.
