Question

multiple choice question
what is glycogenesis?

the production of glucose from non - carbohydrate sources
the breakdown of glycogen
the reduction of pyruvic acid to form lactic acid
the production of glycogen

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "The production of glucose from non - carbohydrate sources" is gluconeogenesis.
• "The breakdown of glycogen" is glycogenolysis.
• "The reduction of pyruvic acid to form lactic acid" is lactic acid fermentation (in anaerobic respiration).
• "The production of glycogen" matches the definition of glycogenesis (where glucose molecules are polymerized to form glycogen, mainly in the liver and muscles).

Answer:

D. The production of glycogen
