  1. Amino acids are deaminated, and the carbon backbones are then metabolized to produce energy. The 4-carbon chain, the 5-carbon chain, and the 6-carbon chain can be converted to pyruvate or oxaloacetate, which enter the TCA cycle. Pyruvate is converted to glucose by gluconeogenesis, and the glucose is then converted to glycogen.


  2. Neither.  The carbohyradrates formed are smaller molecules than glucose.

    For example, alanine demainates to pyruvic acid and aspartic acid deaminates to oxaloacetic acid.
