Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glycerol can be converted into glucose through a process called gluconeogenesis. Fatty acids, whether they are short-chain, medium-chain, or long-chain, cannot be converted into glucose. Only the glycerol part of the triglyceride can be converted into glucose through a process called gluconeogenesis. Fatty acids cannot be converted into glucose as they are primarily used for energy production through beta-oxidation.
