In fasting state amino acids from muscle breakdown provide t

In fasting state, amino acids from muscle breakdown provide the chief substance for which metabolic process? glycolysis gluconeogenesis glycogenesis glycogenolysis Hexosemonophosphate shunt

Solution

The correct answer is Gluconeogenesis

Gluconeogenesis is the process in which carbohydrate or glucose molecule is formed from the sources other than carbohydrate. Aminoe acids can be one of the sources. During the fasting period when carbohydrateb is not taken directly, so amino acid is metabolized to produce glucose in turn producing energy through gluconeogenesis process.
