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.

If the choice is true or false, the answer is true. Most of hominins were probably nearly as efficient at bipedal locomotion as humans.  However, the bones of their pelvis were shorter from top to bottom than humans. This made their pelvis more stable for weight which supports standing upright or moving bipedially.
