Question

Gluconeogenesis occurs in liver.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

• Gluconeogenesis is a metabolic pathway that results in the production of glucose from certain non-carbohydrate carbon substrates.
• In vertebrates, gluconeogenesis takes place mainly in the liver and, to a lesser extent, in the cortex of the kidneys.
• In ruminants, this tends to be a continuous process.
• In many other animals, the process occurs during periods of fasting, starvation, low-carbohydrate diets, or intense exercise. Hence, glyconeogenesis occurs in liver.

So, the correct answer is 'true'.
