Answer: The liver

Explanation:

Gluconeogenesis is a process by which glucose molecules are produced de Novo (from non carbohydrates precursors such as lactate, glycogenic amino acids, and glycerol).

Only the liver can replenish blood glucose through glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis.

During prolonged fasting or starvation the protein catabolism is speeded up to provide precursors (glucogenic amino acids) for gluconeogenesis.

Gluconeogenesis occurs mainly in the liver because one of the key enzyme glucose-6-phosphatase needed for glucose synthesis is only present in the liver.

Fill in the blood type for samples of the following scenarios. a ) __________ anti-A not present, anti-B present, anti-Rh presen
rusak2 [61]
During blood typing, the blood plasma is checked for antibodies. This is what is meant by "anti" in the statements. Keep in mind that if the antibody against a specific blood type is present, the blood cannot have that type. So, if anti-A is present, the blood type is not A.
Moreover, the Rh antigen determines the positive (present of Rh) and negative (absence of Rh) nature of blood type. If the anti-Rh is present, the blood type is negative. Using this information, we see that:
a) A negative
b) B positive
c) AB positive
d) O negative (O because both anti-A and anti-B are present)
e) <span>AB negative (AB because neither anti-A and anti-B are present)</span>
