Anaerobic glucose breakdown produces a compound called _____ that accumulates in the tissues and blood.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During anaerobic glucose breakdown, the production of energy through glycolysis occurs in the absence of oxygen. This process results in the buildup of lactate (also known as lactic acid) in the tissues and blood. Urea and uric acid are waste products of protein breakdown and metabolism, while amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and not a byproduct of glucose breakdown.
