Does Liver cells convert lactic acid to ATP?
No, liver cells do not directly convert lactic acid to ATP. Lactic acid produced during anaerobic metabolism is converted back to pyruvate through a process called the Cori cycle, primarily occurring in the liver, and then further metabolized to generate ATP through aerobic respiration in the mitochondria.
Can the skeletal system remove lactic acid?
The skeletal system itself does not directly remove lactic acid; instead, lactic acid is primarily processed by the liver and muscles. During intense exercise, lactic acid is produced as a byproduct of anaerobic metabolism. While the skeletal muscles can utilize lactic acid for energy, the liver converts it back into glucose through a process called gluconeogenesis. Thus, the skeletal system plays a role in the overall metabolism of lactic acid, but it does not remove it on its own.
The organ most responsible for extracting and converting lactic acid to pyruvic acid and which ultimately reforms and releases free glucose via the Cori cycle into the blood is the?
liver. The liver is responsible for extracting lactic acid from the blood and converting it back to pyruvate through the Cori cycle. This process allows the liver to produce glucose to be released into the blood for energy.
The amount of oxygen liver cells require to react lactic acid to produce glucose or the glycogen?
The amount of oxygen liver cells require to react lactic acid to produce glucose or the glycogen is the oxygen debt. Threshold stimulus is the minimal amount of energy required to contract a muscle fiber.
The liver converts lactic acid to X which it then can convert to X for storage can you please tell me what are the two words that replace X mark?
The liver converts lactic acid to glucose, which it then can convert to glycogen for storage.
What organ is lactic acid transported to for breakdown?
The related link below is very useful to get inside of the various processes linked to Lactic Acid.
Can cardiac muscle fibers use lactic acid to make ATP?
Yes, cardiac muscle fibers can utilize lactic acid to make ATP through a process called the Cori cycle. In this cycle, lactic acid produced during anaerobic metabolism is transported to the liver where it can be converted back to pyruvate and used to produce ATP through aerobic metabolism.
Is all of the lactic acid formed in glycolysis oxidized to carbon dioxide and water?
Lactic acid is not formed in glycolysis, pyruvate is (CH3COCOOH). Lactic acid (CH3CHOHCOOH) is formed afterwards in anaerobic repiration, by the reduction of pyruvate. After it is formed it is then transported to the liver where it is oxidised back to pyruvate in the hepatocytes. This then goes on to aerobic respiration entering at the link reaction stage. And yes is eventuallyturned into CO2 and H2O.
How does lactic acid get into your muscles?
Answer: Lactic acid gets into our muscle through lactic acid fermantation. Fermantation is getting a cell energy without using oxygen.
How does swimming use lactic acid?
After a while of swimming, your muscles use lactic acid. It uses it through Lactic acid fermentation. It results in more energy.
Why is lactic acid harmful?
No, it is not. It's a normal biproduct of anaerobic respiration. After physical exercise the liver converts the lactic acid back to pyruvate which allows it to continue with cellular respiration.
What parts of your body are affected in lactic acid fermentation?
liver, lungs, heart.. balls.
