Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lactic acid forms as an end product of anaerobic glycolysis. Some lactic acid diffuses into the blood and makes its way to the liver to be converted back to glucose. This process is one reason why a person may continue to breathe heavily after strenuous exercise. This action repays the oxygen debt by using oxygen gained by heavy breathing to process the lactic acid produced during physical activity.
