Gluconeogenesis would be more active when you wake up in the morning.

Explanation:

The words and the sentences to match are missing but the reason why gluconeogenesis is more active when we wake up in the morning is that gluconeogenesis is the process by which our body produces glucose, the main fuel of the body, from non-carbohydrate carbon elements, such as proteins and lipids, when there are no carbohydrate carbon elements present in the body, since a long time has passed since our last meal, and the body has already consumed the glucose that was obtained from the ingested food, the system produces glucose from other elements.

Answer: Gluconeogenesis would be more active when you wake up in the morning.

Explanation:

Gluconeogenesis is the metabolic process by which living organisms produce sugars (namely glucose) for catabolic reactions from non-carbohydrate precursors (non carbohydrate elements). This is why gluconeogenesis is more active when we wake up in the morning due to the fact that a long time has passed since our last meal, and the body has already consumed the glucose that was obtained from the ingested food hours ago, the system tends to produces glucose from other elements available in the body.
