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.
Leaves get their colors through pigments. Leaves turn green because of chlorophyll but when they turn orange red and yellow it’s the chlorophyll breaking down and mixing with pigments (like carotenoids)
