Step-by-step explanation:

Significance. The cycle's importance is based on the prevention of lactic acidosis in the muscle under anaerobic conditions. However, normally, before this happens, the lactic acid is moved out of the muscles and into the liver. The cycle is also important in producing ATP, an energy source, during muscle activity.
