Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Cori cycle is a series of metabolic reactions in the liver that converts lactic acid produced by peripheral tissues during anaerobic metabolism into glucose. The electron transport system is a set of reactions that produces ATP in aerobic metabolism. The citric acid cycle is involved in the breakdown of glucose to produce ATP. Beta oxidation is a process of breaking down fatty acids to produce energy. Sugar cleavage is a process of breaking down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars.
