Q. Production of glucose from amino acids, fatty acids and glycerol is called

BHUBHU 2009

Solution:

The synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources, such as amino acids, proteins, fatty acids, glycerol, etc is called gluconeogenesis. This occurs when the glucogen supply in the liver is exhausted.
Glycogenesis involves the conversion of glucose to glycogen, while glycogenolysis involves conversion of glycogen to glucose.
