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

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
The end product of the anaerobic phase of glucose metabolism is?
lactic acid
What do muscle cells in oxygen deprivation gain from the conversion of pyruvate?
Lactate and this step gain NAD+
Why can't we survive with only fermentation?
not enough ATP is produced for our bodies to function
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 kind of an acid is lactate?
Lactate acid is a chemical compound that plays a role in various biochemical processes. Lactate is a carboxylic acid with the chemical formula C3H603.
What cellular process releases ATP by breaking down glucose into lactate?
Anaerobic cellular respiration breaks down glucose into lactate
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
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.
Is there a glucose shot?
Yes; the solution called "Ringer's Lactate" is a mixture containing water, essential salts and electrolytes, and glucose.
What do you get as products after breaking down of glucose in the absence of oxygen?
Energy and lactic acid (lactate).
What is Cori cycling?
For nutrition 200 assesment the answer is: A process in the liver that regenerates glucose from lactate released by muscles. _______________________________________________________ The cycle of biochemical reactions involving a two-way flow of products between muscles and the liver. During the cycle, muscle glycogen is broken down to lactic acid, transported to the liver and converted to glucose. The glucose can either be passed back to the muscles to serve as an energy source or be stored in the liver as glycogen.
What pathway converts privates into lactate?
The pathway that converts pyruvates into lactate is actually part of the PA pathway. The total result of the PA pathway is to convert pyruvates into acetate, with conversion to lactate being one of the reactions along the way.
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.
What has the author Marc Beaudoin written?
Marc Beaudoin has written: 'Glucose, lactate and lactate dehydrogenase levels in the human kidney carcinoma cell line A498 (ATCC HTB-44)'
