Glucose can be synthesized from all except_____________?
Correct answer: C. Acetoacetate
- A. Amino acids
- B. Glycerol
- C. Acetoacetate
- D. Lactic acid
Explanation
Amino acids, glycerol and lactate can enter gluconeogenic pathways and form glucose. Acetoacetate is a ketone body and cannot provide net glucose because its carbons are not converted into a gluconeogenic intermediate.
