When blood circulation in the damaged tissue is restored, lactate accumulation stops and glucose consumption decelerates. These metabolic changes are caused by activation of the following process:

Answer options

  1. Glycogen biosynthesis
  2. Anaerobic glycolysis
  3. Lipolysis
  4. Gluconeogenesis
  5. Aerobic glycolysis
Correct answer

Aerobic glycolysis

Explanation

When the blood supply comes back to damaged tissue, oxygen returns back which in turn instead of lactate accumulation (because of anaerobic glycolysis) glucose is converted to pyruvate (aerobic glycolysis).
