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.
This is why it has been clinically shown that people can eat more calories on a low carb diet and still lose more weight. It really isn't "calorie in-calorie out." The body uses extra calories to make glucose from protein, while not needing extra calories to make glucose from sugar/starch sources.
Cats, for instance, rely on this process almost exclusively, lacking the enzymes to process carbohydrates, and, in fact, having no taste buds to detect the presence of sugar in their food.

Is The process of nitrogen removal is called gluconeogenesis?
TRUE
What is the process of producing glucose from non-glucose sources called?
Gluconeogenesis.
What is the term for maikng new glucose?
The metabolic process in which new glucose is produced in the body is called gluconeogenesis.
Gluconeogenesis describes the conversion of what?
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.
How is energy acquired from catabolic reactions?
The body breaks down muscle tissue into amino acids, which are then converted in the liver to blood glucose. This process is called gluconeogenesis.
What is the process called when making glucose from non carbohydrate substances within the liver?
gluconeogenesis
Is The process of nitrogen removal is called gluconeogenesis?
TRUE
What is the process of making glucose from a non glucose source?
gluconeogenesis
What happens in the process of gluconeogenesis?
glucose is formed from noncarbohydrate precursors
Which process allows glucose generation from non-carbohydrate sources?
Gluconeogenesis.
What is the process of producing glucose from non-glucose sources called?
Gluconeogenesis.
When body is capable of making glucose from non-carbohydrate nutrients such as protein by a process referred to as?
gluconeogenesis
What is the difference between glycolysis and gluconeogenesis?
Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose into pyruvate, generating ATP and NADH, while gluconeogenesis is the synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate precursors such as amino acids, lactate, or glycerol. Glycolysis is a catabolic process, whereas gluconeogenesis is an anabolic process that occurs mainly in the liver and kidneys to maintain blood glucose levels during fasting or low carbohydrate intake.
What is the formation of glucose from proteins and fats?
Gluconeogenesis
The process of allows the liver to produce glucose form amino acids when there is adequate glucose in the diet?
gluconeogenesis
What is the term for maikng new glucose?
The metabolic process in which new glucose is produced in the body is called gluconeogenesis.
When the liver makes glucose from non-carbohydrate substances such as fat or proteins the process is termed what?
gluconeogenesis
