The metabolic pathway responsible for clearing lactic acid from our bodies is called the Cori Cycle. It occurs in the liver, and converts lactic acid back into pyruvic acid, and then into glucose. The glucose can then be used for energy metabolism again. However, the Cori Cycle requires a net input of 4 ATP to operate. Based on this information how can you describe the Cori Cycle? [Select any/all that apply.] Cori Cycle is exergonic. Cori Cycle is anabolc. Cori Cycle is catabolic. Cori Cycle is endergonic.
