Monica [59]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- Glycolysis.

Explanation:

Gluconeogenesis is a metabolic pathway which synthesizes glucose from non-sugar precursors. This pathway is activated in the low concentration of glucose due to less intake or completely absent to conserve energy.

This pathway is somewhat the reverse of the glycolysis when excess energy is present as a result of glycolysis, gluconeogenesis is inhibited and when no energy is present, gluconeogenesis is activated.

What is the limit on saturated fat intake in grams that you would recommend to your friend, who is consuming 2,500 calories?
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

less than 25 gm of saturated fat.

Explanation:

The amount of fat intake and the type of fat intake is important to obtain a healthy diet. According to research if you take 2000 calories per day than you should take less than 20 grams of saturated fat and if you take 2,500 calories than you should take less than 25 grams of saturated fat.

If we take more amount of fat it will raise the bad cholesterol level in the body and blood vessels which will increase the risk of getting heart stroke and heart attack.  

Therefore the recommended level of intake of saturated fat is less than 25 gm for a person who takes 2,500 calories per day.
