Which of the following substances can be converted into glucose through the process of gluconeogenesis?

Explanation

Among the given compounds, lactate can be transformed into glucose via gluconeogenesis. Acetyl CoA cannot be converted to glucose because it enters the citric acid cycle irreversibly. Palmitic acid, a fatty acid, cannot serve as a gluconeogenic substrate. Fructose can be metabolized but is not a direct gluconeogenic precursor like lactate.
