What cellular process results in the making of carbohydrates?
Glycogen, a polymer of glucose, is formed as a storage compound in the body. Glycogen may be broken down (glycogenolysis) to glucose for use in respiration. If what you want is a process that forms carbohydrates from non-carbohydrate sources, that would be gluconeogenesis.
Why the leaves of plant kept in dark do not produce starch?
A leaf needs light energy to photosynthesise. The way it can obtain this energy is from a light source, and the dark has no light sources-so the leaf cannot obtain light energy, it cannot photosynthesise. This process involves producing starch (as glucose is made, then converted into starch) and so no photosynthesis=no starch.
Glucogenesis occurs in the liver due to the action of?
enzymes such as glucose-6-phosphatase, fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase. These enzymes promote the synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources such as amino acids, lactate, and glycerol. This process helps to maintain blood glucose levels during fasting or low carbohydrate intake.

Glucose can be obtained from?
Glucose can be obtained a few different ways, some naturally and some commercially. Some natural ways include plants, where glucose can be obtained through photosynthesis. Gluconeogenesis is the process of forming glucose from non-carbohydrate sources, which is how the body keeps blood glucose levels from dropping to low. In glycogenolysis, glucose is synthesized by breaking down glycogen. Commercially, not natural, glucose can be obtained through the use of enzymatic reactions in hydrolysis in starch.
What are the Principal sources of blood glucose?
Glucose is a molecule which helps to provide energy in our bodies. The main source of glucose are foods that contain proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.

What two sources do cells get their primary energy?
Glucose and triglycerides
Is gluconeogenisis the production of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources?
Yes, it is.
What are 2 sources of blood glucose?
Diet & the liver (glycogen).

Name two principal sources of blood glucose?
During fasting the glucose is relaesed from intracellular glycogen stores in the liver (produced by glucogenolysis). After a meal blood glucose is acquired from the diet.
