What Occurs During the Process of Gluconeogenesis

Question

What occurs during the process of gluconeogenesis?
A) Glycogen is broken down in order for glucose release.
B) Glucose is formed from noncarbohydrate precursors.
C) Glycogen is synthesized.
D) Glucose is converted in water and carbon dioxide.
E) Glycerol and amino acids are converted to chylomicrons.

Accepted Answer

Gluconeogenesis is the metabolic process by which organisms produce glucose from non-carbohydrate precursors, such as lactate, glycerol, and amino acids, to maintain blood glucose levels, especially during fasting or intense exercise.
