Why do erythrocytes produce l lactate from glucose?
erythrocytes lack a mitochondria do produce energy via ATP, however, they are able yp produce L-lactate from glucose. this is necessary for the production of energy to maintain membrane integrity and produce energy anaerobically by converting glucose to lactate.
Liver cells and muscle are able store chains of glucose in a molecule are call?
no
Does lactic acid fermentation breaks down glucose to release energy in anaerobic respiration?
It doesn't break down glucose per se. It breaks down the pyruvate produced from glycolysis into lactate. Only the liver has the ability to convert lactate back to pyruvate.
Animal cells are able to produce glucose through photosynthesis?
No they contain no chlorophyll so can't photosynthesise
All cells are able to continute living because of their ability to?
either produce offspring or produce hormones

What is the brains source of energy?
Glucose is the main source of energy of the brain. It is converted to ATP inside the brain. However, the brain cells (neurons) themselves use some glucose. The other glucose is first metabolized and converted to "Lactate" by cells inside the brain called "Astrocytes". The lactate produced will then enter the neurons and then is converted to ATP.

What organs are capable of turning lactate in glucose?
The conversion of lactate to glucose (see gluconeogenesis ) takes place almost exclusively in the liver, but lactate can be metabolized by the kidney and nervous tissue as well.
What cellular process releases ATP by breaking down glucose into lactate?
Anaerobic cellular respiration breaks down glucose into lactate
What is the name of the biochemical pathway describing the conversion of lactate to glucose?
gluconeogenesis or glyconeogenesis. It happens in the cori cicle, for instance - during exercise the muscles use the accumulated glucose to produce energy, producing lactate. Then the lactate goes in the blood stream and is used (mainly) in the liver to produce glucose again
Which of the following are true about oxaloacetate?
It is an intermediary in the synthesis of glucose from lactate
What cellular process ATP by breaking down glucose into lactate?
Glycolysis
Sodium fluoride is the anticoagulant of choice for?
It is commonly used for glucose and lactate tests. The fluoride is used to stop/slow down processes in the red bloodcells(also in the other cells, but the erythrocytes have the biggest influence in this matter). Processes like the citric acid cycle, which uses glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP. In this process lactate is formed along with ATP. In other words, the glucose concentration in the plasma will decrease, and the lactate concentration will increase. When the blood is being obtained it will take about 30 minutes for the fluoride to start working.
Is there a glucose shot?
Yes; the solution called "Ringer's Lactate" is a mixture containing water, essential salts and electrolytes, and glucose.
Liver cells and muscle are able store chains of glucose in a molecule are call?
no
What do you get as products after breaking down of glucose in the absence of oxygen?
Energy and lactic acid (lactate).
