Question
Chapter 16, Problem 3P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The true statement needs to be identified and explained.
Concept Introduction :
In the absence of oxygen, muscle cells produce energy by converting glucose into lactate. The process of conversion of glucose into lactic acid is termed as lactic acid fermentation. It is catalyzed by the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). In various animals, lactate produced in the muscles is recycled back to glucose in the liver.

The Cori Cycle. Before vigorous exercise (at rest) the level of blood lactate is at its normal level (about 25 mM). During a 400 m sprint, the value rises sharply in less than a few minutes to about 200 mM and then declines slowly to around 40 mM over 60 mins after the sprint.
a. Discuss (or illustrate) the pathway and reactions that cause the rapid increase in lactate concentration during the sprint.
b. What causes the slow decline in lactate concentration after the sprint? Why does the decrease occur more slowly than the rapid increase?
c. What enzymatic reaction is responsible for maintaining the lactate concentration above zero at recovery after the sprint?
