AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Gluconeogenesis**: Gluconeogenesis is a metabolic pathway that results in the generation of glucose from certain non-carbohydrate substrates. It primarily occurs in the liver and to a lesser extent in the kidneys. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A**: "Glucose is converted into glycogen" - This describes glycogenesis, not gluconeogenesis. - **Option B**: "Glucose is converted into glucose" - This is not a logical statement as it suggests no change. - **Option C**: "Sugar is converted into fats" - This describes lipogenesis, not gluconeogenesis. - **Option D**: "Glucose is formed from non-carbohydrates" - This accurately describes gluconeogenesis. 3. **Conclusion**: Based on the definitions and analyses of the options, the correct answer is **Option D**: "Glucose is formed from non-carbohydrates." **Final Answer**: D. Glucose is formed from non-carbohydrates. ---
