(c) From the hydrolysis of tri-acyl-glycerol, glycerol is converted to glucose in gluconeogenesis

(d) From muscle vigorous muscle activity, lactate can be used as a carbon source

I got this question by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.

I would like to ask this question from Gluconeogenesis in section Principles of Bioenergetics and Glycolysis of Biochemistry

Answer 1

Right choice is (a) From the hydrolysis of tri-acyl-glycerol, fatty acids can be used as a carbon source

To explain I would say: From the hydrolysis of tri-acyl-glycerol, fatty acids cannot be used as a carbon source.
