What is the synthesis of glucose from amino acids called?

A) Glycogenesis
B) Glycogenolysis
C) Glycolysis
D) Gluconeogenesis
E) Glycogen catabolism

Gluconeogenesis is the metabolic process by which organisms produce glucose from non-carbohydrate precursors, such as amino acids, lactate, and glycerol. This process is crucial for maintaining blood glucose levels during periods of fasting or intense exercise.
