Which citrate cycle intermediate is also used in gluconeogenesis?
A) "oxaloacetate"
B) "$\alpha$-ketoglutarate"
C) "fumarate"
D) "succinate"

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Oxaloacetate is the intermediate that is used in gluconeogenesis as it can be converted into phosphoenolpyruvate, which is a precursor for glucose synthesis. The other three choices, F1F1F1S1F1F1F10-ketoglutarate, fumarate, and succinate, are all part of the citric acid cycle but not involved in gluconeogenesis.
