Answer to Question 1

Ketogenesis is an anabolic process that feeds into the catabolic processes of energy generation in the brain and other tissues. Ketogenesis, which results in the synthesis of ketones, can spare the body from having to use amino acids to synthesize large amounts of glucose via gluconeogenesis.
Ketogenesis, which occurs mostly in the liver, provides the body with an important source of energy during times of glucose insufficiency (such as starvation and diabetes). However, only muscle, brain, and kidney tissue have the enzymes needed to metabolize ketones for energy.
