1 Animals utilize the metabolic pathway of gluconeogenesis only when energy stores are very low. False When an ion crosses the membrane and binds to a protein to accomplish this feat‚ it is using active transport and facilitated diffusion. Adaptation is always beneficial to an individual‚ even if the environmental cause for the change is no longer present. False Many animals are capable of producing all the required fatty acids for catabolic pathways. True Vomiting is/are an example
