During intense exercise, your body has the ability to undergo gluconeogenesis, a process in which certain small molecules already within the body are combined together and built into new glucose molecules that can be used by cells. Which of the following answer choices includes the proper terms to metabolically describe gluconeogenesis?

(Choice A)

A

It is an anabolic process with exergonic reactions that require an input of energy.

(Choice B)

B

It is an anabolic process with endergonic reactions that require an input of energy.

(Choice C)

C

It is a catabolic process with exergonic reactions that result in an output of energy.

(Choice D)

D

It is a catabolic process with endergonic reactions that require an input of energy.

Kaden Mcdaniel · Answer 1

a because when your body exersizes it puts energy into it

Jazmyn Shea · Answer 2

B

Explanation:

Gluconeogenesis is an anabolic process because it involves building glucose molecules through endergonic reactions that require the input of energy (ATP) to work.
