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.

Is L-lactate a chiral molecule?
By writing "L-lactate" you basically answered your own question, yes, it is. It is the "left oriented" lactate :)
Is glucose a monocharride?
Glucose, the chemical that plants produce for food, is a monosaccharide.
What is the difference between Dextrose and Glucose polymer?
For one, dextrose and glucose are both monomers, or to be specific, monosaccharides. Dextrose and glucose are essentially the same thing, except that dextrose is specifically D-glucose. There exists two stereoisomeric forms of glucose, being D-glucose and L-glucose. "D" refers to "right" and "L" refers to "left". Essentially stereoisomeric means that D-glucose and L-glucose are mirror images of each other. T The difference between L-glucose and R-glucose is that L-glucose cannot be metabolized during glycolysis which is a component of cellular respiration.
What is the enzyme LDH?
Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH or LD) is an enzyme (EC1.1.1.27) present in a wide variety of organisms, including plants and animals.Lactate dehydrogenases exist in four distinct enzyme classes. Two of them are cytochrome c-dependent enzymes, each acting on either D-lactate (EC 1.1.2.4) or L-lactate (EC 1.1.2.3). The other two are NAD(P)-dependent enzymes, each acting on either D-lactate (EC 1.1.1.28) or L-lactate (EC 1.1.1.27).
D-glucose and l-glucose are are examples of what?
According to the Fischer projection formula, they are enantiomers.

What is the chemical equation for glucose to produce ethanol?
the chemical equation for glucose to produce ethanol is given below. It is done by The balanced equation for the fermentation of glucose to ethanol is as follows:

Does chloroplasts make sugar from plants?
Chloroplasts produce sugars by photosynthesis.Mitochondria utilize sugars in respiration.

What is the normal serum Lactate Dehydrogenase level?
100 to 250 U/L
Why d-glucose is called levose?
d-glucose is called dextrose, l-glucose is called levose
D-glucose and l-glucose are are examples of what?
According to the Fischer projection formula, they are enantiomers.
D glucose and l glucose are examples of?
According to the Fischer projection formula, they are enantiomers.
What is the differences between anaerobic threshold and lactate threshold?
Lactate Threshold and Anaerobic Threshold (also known as the Onset of Blood Lactate Accumulation OBLA) are very similar and for most intents and purposes are referred to as the same thing. Lactate Threshold is the point at which lactic acid produce in the muscle during glycolysis is not metabolised as fast as it is being produced. Anaerobic Threshold is the result of this Lactate Threshold, after Lactate Threshold occurs the extra lactic acid from the muscle then acuminates into the blood, once Blood Lactate (BL) level reaches 4 mmol/L it is defined as Anaerobic Threshold or OBLA. Additionally, this Lactic acid is then Broken into lactate and acid (H+ ions). The lactate is recycled and used as an energy source, while the H+ ions are neutralised in the blood, with a by-product being CO2, the CO2 then needs to be expelled through ventilation, this is called Ventilatory Threshold (VT) and is characterised by a sudden heavy ventilation. Put simply Lactate Threshold, Anaerobic Threshold and Ventilatory Threshold happen in a cascade chain and each threshold usually occurs soon after the one before it.

The human stomach does not digest L-glucose so the sugar might be able to serve as a low-calorie sweetener. Why L-glucose is not available on the market?
Apparently L-glucose tastes the same and is not metabolized; however it is expensive to manufacture and hence not likely to be used as a sweetener.
