Question

Gluconeogenesis responds to which of the following?

(a) Hormonal control

(b) pH control

(c) Temperature control

(d) Blood control

I got this question during a job interview.

I would like to ask this question from Coordinated Regulation of Glycolysis and Gluconeogenesis in division Principles of Metabolic Regulation: Glucose and Glycogen of Biochemistry

Answer 1

Correct choice is (a) Hormonal control

The best I can explain: When the blood glucose level decreases, the hormone glucagon signals the liver to produce and release more glucose and to stop consuming it for its own needs. One source of glucose is gluconeogenesis.
