Question

what is gluconeogenesis?
a the creation of glucose molecules from amino acids and fatty acids
b the breakdown of glycogen into glucose
c the formation of glycogen from glucose

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Gluconeogenesis is the process of synthesizing glucose from non - carbohydrate precursors like amino acids and fatty acids. This matches the definition of gluconeogenesis.
• Option B: The breakdown of glycogen into glucose is called glycogenolysis, not gluconeogenesis.
• Option C: The formation of glycogen from glucose is called glycogenesis, not gluconeogenesis.

Answer:

A. The creation of glucose molecules from amino acids and fatty acids
