Chapter 5, Problem 4RA

The conversion of lactic acid to pyruvic acid occurs

a . in anaerobic respiration . b . in the heart, where lactic acid is aerobically respired . c . in the liver, where lactic acid can be converted to glucose . d . in both  a  and  b . e . in both  b  and  c .

Which of the following statements is (are) accurate about aerobic and anaerobic respiration?a. Aerobic respiration is best for sprints.b. Anaerobic respiration is best for long distances because it does not need large amounts of oxygen.c. Aerobic respiration is faster.d. Aerobic respiration produces more energy per glucose molecule.e. Both aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration start with glycolysis.
In anaerobic respiration, lactic acid is released into the blood from skeletal muscle. When oxygen is available, most of the lactic acid is converted back to pyruvic acid and glucose in the A. liver. B. skeletal muscle. C. Heart. D. lung.
Under anaerobic conditions, OA. lactate B. oxygen C. pyruvate D. carbon dioxide E. glucose is absent.
