Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

High levels of ATP and citrate signal a cell is in a high-energy state, often indicating that the cell is well-fed. This condition promotes gluconeogenesis, the synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources, and inhibits glycolysis, the breakdown of glucose for energy, to prevent excessive production of ATP and manage energy resources efficiently.
