Chapter 24, Problem 45P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The steps in the Cori cycle needs to be described. The organ in which the key reactions of the cycle occur needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The Cori cycle is also known as the lactic acid cycle which describes the pathway where lactate is produced in muscles via a process of anerobic glycolysis and moves to the liver where it gets converted into glucose. The glucose so formed returned back to the muscles and cyclically metabolized back to form lactate.
