lactate

24
Q

what structures of the body rely on anerobic glycolysis

A

RBC’s and cornea and the lens

25
Q

if the mitochodria were injured would energy still beable to be produced ?

yes because the mitochodnria are not necessary for anaerobic glycolysis

26
Q

how do the NADH get into the mitochondria so that they can go through the ETC ?

A

via the glycerol 3 phosphate shuttle

Q

intermeidate required for serine synthesis

A

3 PPG

35
Q

intermeidate required for alanine synthesis
