This is the process by which the body obtains its needed glucose supplies by making it from protein rather than taking it directly from the blood sugar which is dumped into the bloodstream by the ingestion of sugars or the breakdown of starches.

Describes the generation of glucose from the breakdown of proteins into amino acids?
Gluconeogenesis
What nutrient undergoes gluconeogenesis?
Proteins
What process describes the conversion of an external stimulus to an internal action potential?
transduction
Is The process of nitrogen removal is called gluconeogenesis?
TRUE
What are the precursors to produce gluconeogenesis?
Malate,Aspartate and Pyruvate
Describes the generation of glucose from the breakdown of proteins into amino acids?
Gluconeogenesis
What is the formation of glucose from proteins and fats?
Gluconeogenesis
What is the process called when making glucose from non carbohydrate substances within the liver?
gluconeogenesis
What organs are capable of turning lactate in glucose?
The conversion of lactate to glucose (see gluconeogenesis ) takes place almost exclusively in the liver, but lactate can be metabolized by the kidney and nervous tissue as well.
What promotes gluconeogenesis?
Cortisol
How fructose-1-phosphate inhibit gluconeogenesis?
The fructose-1-phosphate inhibits gluconeogenesis through the enzyme aldolase.
What is anabolic role of gluconeogenesis?
The anabolic role of gluconeogenesis is to break new glucose molecules from non-carbohydrate precursors.
What is the effect of alcohol on gluconeogenesis?
Increased ethanol will give increased NADH. Because NADH levels are higher, the body will produce more pyruvate and less lactate. Since lactate is a precursor for gluconeogenesis, gluconeogenesis will decrease.
What nutrient undergoes gluconeogenesis?
Proteins
Why thyroxine promotes gluconeogenesis?
Thyroxine upregulates catecholamine receptors which is equivalent to increasing sympathetic tonus and thus directly contributing to increased gluconeogenesis.
Which term describes changing a measurement to an equivalent measurement of different unit?
Conversion.
What process describes the conversion of an external stimulus to an internal action potential?
transduction
