What is the cycle shown below called? (See Figure)
Embden Meyerhof pathway
Pentose phosphate pathway
Cori cycle
Pyruvate decarboxylation
Ans. C. Cori cyclea. The image shows the operation of Cori' cycle.b. Skeletal muscles have a few mitochondria which are capable of vigorous activity, glycogen stores are depleted resulting in muscles operating anaerobically.c. The Cori cycle is a pathway in carbohydrate metabolism that links this anaerobic glycolysis in muscle tissue to gluconeogenesis in the liver.
