This is a real-world medical entrance exam question, please give the true answer based on the question and selection. Topic name: Glycogen, Subject name: Biochemistry
Glyconeogenesis is 
Select and explain. 
A. Synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources, B. Synthesis of glycogen from glucose, C. Synthesis of glucose from glycerol, D. Synthesis of glycogen from non-carbohydrate sources
D: Synthesis of glycogen from non-carbohydrate sources
Answer: D: Synthesis of glycogen from non-carbohydrate sources 
Explanation: Glyconeogenesis Synthesis of glycogen from non-carbohydrate precursors This pathway is the same as gluconeogenesis, but the last step is different i.e. In glyconeogenesis, glucose-6-Phosphate directly enters glycogen synthesis. So glucose-6-phosphatase step is not required. Glycogenesis -Synthesis of glycogen from glucose. Glycogenolysis- Breakdown of glycogen to produce glucose. Gluconeogenesis- Synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate precursors.
