What is the fate of lactate following exercise cessation?
| | Rapid removal in urine since lactic acid is harmful to thebody |
| | Converted to glucose/glycogen by the Cori cycle |

Question 30
Which of the following will decrease the most—as a percentage ofits resting concentration--during an all-out 100-meter dash(lasting about 10 seconds)?
| A. | Blood glucose concentration |
| B. | Muscle glycogen concentration |
| C. | Muscle ATP concentration |
| D. | Muscle CP concentration |
Question 31
What would the effects of a month long high-protein, high-fatdiet, low carbohydrate diet be on athletic performance during amarathon? Assume that the person will run the majority of themarathon at >80% VO2peak and will likely run the last few milesat 90% VO2peak:
| A. | Improve because you have now trained the body to oxidize fattyacids for prolonged periods of time |
| B. | Improved performance because it provides plenty of protein /amino acids for prolonged exercise which can be used forgluconeogenesis |
| C. | The subject will be glycogen depleted and performance will beworse |
| D. | No effect |
Question 32
A person accidentally ingests a substance that renders themitochondrial electron transport chain non-functional. Thefollowing is true:
| A. | Nothing will change since NADH and FADH are produced duringß-oxidation and the Krebs cycle prior to entering the ETC |
| B. | The Kreb’s cycle will speed up to compensate |
| C. | The individual will switch to protein breakdown to meet ATPneeds |
| D. | Cellular respiration will be severely compromised |
Question 33
You are training a 400-meter running athlete who states she istaking a supplement to increase the bioavailability and activity ofphosphoglucoisomerase (a glycolysis pathway enzyme) to boost herrace performance. What is the effect you expect?
| A. | Some improvement since the rate of anaerobic glycolysis willincrease |
| B. | Worse performance because the levels of enzymes are finely tunedand the disequilibrium from the supplement will affect glycolyticactivity |
| C. | No change |
| D. | Not enough information |
