KROK 1 2011 – Question 149 · KROK (Medicine) · Biological Chemistry
Some students developed myodynia after continuous physical activity during physical education. The reason for such condition was accumulation of lactic acid in the skeletal muscles. It was generated in the students’ bodies after activation of the following process:
- A. Pentose-phosphate cycle
- B. Gluconeogenesis
- C. Lipolysis
- D. Glycogeny
- E. Glycolysis
Hint
Ask which pathway keeps ATP formation going in working muscle when oxygen delivery falls short, and what becomes of its end product when NADH cannot be reoxidised.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
