In what process does an organism produce amino acids from glucose?

  1. Respiration

  2. Synthesis

  3. Transcription

  4. Gluconeogenesis

The correct answer is: Gluconeogenesis

Glucose is a building block of carbohydrates and is used to produce energy. In gluconeogenesis, glucose molecules are formed from non-carbohydrate precursors, including amino acids. Respiration is the process of breaking down glucose for energy, which is the opposite of producing glucose. Synthesis is a general term for any chemical process that involves forming a compound, but it does not specifically refer to the production of amino acids from glucose. Transcription is the process of creating RNA from DNA, which is not directly involved in producing amino acids from glucose. Therefore, the correct answer is D Gluconeogenesis.
