Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D Gluconeogenesis
Gluconeogenesis is a pathway that results in the synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate carbon substrates such as pyruvate, lactate, glycerol and glucogenic amino acids. It is one of the two main mechanisms used by many mammals to maintain blood glucose levels. During starvation, when carbohydrates are not available or certain conditions like diabetes, when carbohydrates are available but cannot be used, body tries to maintain blood glucose level by the process of gluconeogenesis.Thus, the correct answer is option C.
