About This Quiz

Explore the Anaerobic Glycolysis - Lactic Acid System through this focused quiz. Learn about the breakdown of molecules for ATP re-synthesis, glycogen storage, the onset of the lactic acid system during intense exercise, energy yields, and ATP net gains. Essential for students in biochemistry and exercise science.

2.

What is the glucose - 6 - phosphate downgraded to?
- Citric acid
- Lactic acid
- Pyruvic acid
Correct Answer

A. Pyruvic acid

Explanation

Glucose-6-phosphate is converted into pyruvic acid through a series of reactions known as glycolysis. This process occurs in the cytoplasm of cells and is an important step in cellular respiration. Pyruvic acid can then be further metabolized in the presence of oxygen to produce more energy through the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. Lactic acid is produced during anaerobic respiration, while citric acid is a product of the citric acid cycle. Therefore, the correct answer is pyruvic acid.
