Which of the following is not true about the gluconeogenesis pathway's role in organismal homeostasis?

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

Gluconeogenesis occurs in times of starvation, fasting, and low access to sources of glucose. This is the cells way of creating its own precursor when none is available, albeit at a high energetic cost (one cycle of gluconeogenesis can cost 6 ATP). Thus, it is untrue that gluconeogenesis occurs during high consumption of carbohydrates and fatty acids. Each other selection is true regarding gluconeogenesis.
