At a basic level, Gluconeogensis is an anabolic process. It involves the creation of a 6 carbon glucose molecule from smaller precursors.
The name gluco (glucose) neo (new) genesis (creation) is quite descriptive of what the pathway does.
Ana-bolic is greek for "upward-throw"
The opposite of gluconeogenesis is glycolysis (glyco for glucose, lysis for breakdown) which is as its name suggests the break down of glucose to form pyruvate and eventually acetyl CoA.
Glycolysis in contrast is considered cata-bolic (greek for downwardthrow)
An easy way I remember the difference is:
catabolism = cutting things up
anabolism = annealing things together
note - When one thinks about where the precursors come from we may consider gluconeogenesis to have a catabolic andanabolic portion. The catabolic process involves the sum of reactions used to generate the precursor molecules (e.g. - breakdown of proteins into amino acids, breakdown of fats into monoacylglycerides and eventually dihydroxyacetone phosphate)
Anabolic reactions are reactions which build molecules up, catabolic reactions break them down. Since protein synthesis is a 'building' reaction it is anabolic.
Insulin and cortisol are two hormones that have both anabolic and catabolic effects. Insulin promotes anabolic processes such as glucose uptake and protein synthesis, while cortisol can have catabolic effects by promoting the breakdown of muscle protein and fat for energy production.
The reactions that occur in cells are both anabolic (building up) and catabolic (breaking down). The catabolic reactions provide the energy for the anabolic reactions. The sum total of all catabolic and anabolic reactions in the cell is called metabolism.
Beta oxidation is a catabolic process. It involves the breakdown of fatty acids into acetyl-CoA molecules, which can be used as an energy source through the citric acid cycle.
When fatty acids provide energy, it is a catabolic process. The breakdown of fatty acids through beta-oxidation releases energy that can be used by the body for various metabolic processes.

Anabolic

anabolic
it's both catabolic and anabolic as there are parts that are taken off (catabolic) and parts added on (anabolic) in the process
The anabolic role of gluconeogenesis is to break new glucose molecules from non-carbohydrate precursors.
it could be anabolic and catabolic
The process is anabolic.
Catabolic.
1. Glycolysis is anabolic pathway but Gluconeogenesis is catabolic patway 2. Glycolysis produce net 2ATP but Gluconeogenesis consume net 6ATP per glucose molecule 3. Glycolysis catabolizing sugars/polysaccharides but Gluconeogenesis synthesizing sugars/polysachharides 4. In Glycolysis, Glucose is Substrate & Pyruvate is By-Product but in Gluconeogenesis is vice versa By-Helmi Zolkeflay
No, NADPH is not utilized in the conversion of NADP from anabolic to catabolic processes.
