Correct Answer:
Lactic acid is secreted from muscle cells into the bloodstream.Some is taken up from the bloodstream by the liver,where it is either reoxidized to pyruvate then metabolized to generate energy and CO₂ or it is converted back to glucose and stored as glycogen in the liver.Some of the lactic acid is metabolized to CO₂ in the heart.
