A)It triggers ongoing heavier breathing to provide further oxygen for the muscles.
B)Much of the lactate is transported to the liver where it is converted to pyruvate.
C)Some lactate converted to pyruvate is converted back to glucose.
D)Some lactate converted to pyruvate is then completely broken down.

Despite the common belief, lactate is not converted to ATP in the muscle cells upon storage. Rather, it is transported out of the muscle cells and into the bloodstream, where it is used as fuel by other tissues, converted to glucose in the liver, or excreted through urine. Therefore, E is the choice that does not describe a consequence of lactate resulting from fermentation in the muscles.
