Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The body primarily makes glucose through a process called gluconeogenesis, which involves the conversion of amino acids (from proteins), glycerol (from fats), and lactate/pyruvate into glucose. Fatty acids themselves cannot be directly converted into glucose because the acetyl-CoA produced from fatty acid oxidation enters the citric acid cycle and cannot be converted back into glucose in humans.
