Answer:

that are glucogenic all produce oxaloacetate and then glucose.

Step-by-step explanation:

The major aim of protein catabolism during a state of starvation is to provide the glucogenic amino acids especially alanine and glutamine, that serve as substrates for endogenous glucose production ie gluconeogenesis in the liver.

Glucogenic amino acid are known for their production of oxaloacetate and then glucose.
