Explanation / Answer

22.78) Gluconeogenesis refers to the synthesis of glucose from non carbohydrate sources like lactate, glucogenic aminoacids ,glycerol etc. When we wake up in morning our stomach is empty as all the foods consumed the previous night has been metabolized and the energy derived from. It has been used by the body. So we need energy to function. And as no carbohydrate sources are available as soon as we wake up, our body cannot follow the normal glycolysis pathway as there is no food . So the body derives its energy requirement from Gluconeogenesis I.e, by using substrate other than glucose. Hence Gluconeogenesis is most active when we wake up.

Glycogen is produced and stored primarily in liver And it is used to produce glucose .

So cells of the liver use Gluconeogenesis to synthesize glucose when glycogen stores are full.
