Question

multiple choice question
what is gluconeogenesis?
o production of glycogen by polymerizing glucose
o breakdown of glycogen to release glucose
o production of glucose from non - carbohydrates
o splitting of glucose into two molecules of pyruvic acid

Explanation:

Gluconeogenesis is the metabolic process by which glucose is synthesized from non - carbohydrate precursors such as lactate, glycerol, and certain amino acids. It is important for maintaining blood glucose levels during fasting or low - carbohydrate intake. The first option describes glycogenesis, the second describes glycogenolysis, and the fourth describes glycolysis.

Answer:

Production of glucose from non - carbohydrates
