Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lactate produced by anaerobic glycolysis is transported to the liver where it is converted to pyruvate through the process of gluconeogenesis. Pyruvate can then be used by the liver to synthesize glucose through the gluconeogenesis pathway. This glucose can be released to the bloodstream and used by other organs as a source of energy. Therefore, choice A, resynthesized to glucose, is the correct answer.
