The liver can convert lactate into glucose that can be released into the bloodstream or stored as glycogen.

Answer: Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

The lactate in food is usually transported to the liver where the process of gluconeogenesis takes place, this process produces glucose that can be used in the glycolysis and the citric acid cycle to produce ATP that is the energy required for the cell to carry out various metabolic activities. Glucose is the major source of energy for any cell , any other forms of carbohydrates must be first converted to glucose to enter into the energy cycle.
