Solution

The amino acid that can be directly converted to pyruvate via transamination, and enter the gluconeogenesis pathway is Alanine.

Here's the step by step process:

  1. Alanine is transaminated to form pyruvate. This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT).

  2. Pyruvate, the product of this reaction, can then enter the gluconeogenesis pathway.

  3. In the gluconeogenesis pathway, pyruvate is converted
