Question

fill in the blank question
the liver oxidizes lactate back to
, which can then enter the aerobic pathway when oxygen becomes available again.
need help? review these concept resources.

Explanation:

In the context of cellular metabolism and the liver's role in energy metabolism, lactate (produced during anaerobic respiration) is oxidized back to pyruvate in the liver. Pyruvate can then enter the aerobic (Krebs cycle, etc.) pathway when oxygen is available. This is a key concept in Biology (a subfield of Natural Science) related to cellular respiration and metabolic pathways.

Answer:

pyruvate
