If your body sense that is very low on the substrates necessary to produce ATP homeostatic control mechanisms will alter enzyme levels such that your body begins the processes of deamination and gluconeogenesis. Combined, these two sets of chemical pathways convert amino acids and already assembled proteins into substrates for glycolysis and the citric acid cycle, thereby replenishing (in part) your supply of energy. This is an example of what? a. positive feedback loop b. negative feedback loop c.feedforward regulation

Deamination of amino acids - it is the process of breakdown of amino acids which occurs in excess intake of protein rich food. The amino group of amino acids are removed that is converted to ammonia. The rest of the amino acid is recycled or oxidized for energy that is composed of carbon and hydrogen.
Gluconeogenesis - is the process of synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrates sources like amino acids, lactate, glycerol, etc. e.g. Alanine is converted into pyruvate, then enters into the mitochondrion and it is carboxylated to oxaloacetate (OAA) by pyruvate carboxylase (PC).
