Question

multiple choice question
what is gluconeogenesis?

breakdown of glycogen to release glucose
production of glucose from non - carbohydrates
splitting of glucose into two molecules of pyruvic acid
production of glycogen by polymerizing glucose

Explanation:

• Analyze each option:
• "Breakdown of glycogen to release glucose" is glycogenolysis, not gluconeogenesis.
• "Production of glucose from non - carbohydrates" (like amino acids, glycerol) is the definition of gluconeogenesis.
• "Splitting of glucose into two molecules of pyruvic acid" is glycolysis.
• "Production of glycogen by polymerizing glucose" is glycogenesis.

Answer:

B. Production of glucose from non - carbohydrates
