Which is the following statement is FALSE about the reaction of Pyruvate-to-Lactate conversion. During fasting, Pyruvate to Lactate conversion is involved in Cori cycle. This reaction is very active in skeletal muscle (fast-twitching myofibers). In humans, this reaction is irreversible and Lactate is a waste. Lactate can protonate into Lactic acid and be exported out of cells; the removing of protons (H+) has a regulatory effect on glycolysis

2.) Rapid glycolysis during strenuous exercise provides the ATP needed for muscle contraction. Since the lactate dehydrogenase enzyme does not produce any ATP, would anaerobic glycolysis be more efficient if the product were pyruvate instead of lactate? Explain.
Adi S.
Which ONE of the following statements is FALSE? Lactate is a reduced form of pyruvate. Lactate is an oxidized form of pyruvate. Lactate dehydrogenase is the enzyme that converts pyruvate to lactate. Lactate production occurs in vigorously contracting skeletal muscle. NAD+ is generated when pyruvate is converted to lactate. Do not know.
