3. Cancer cells using glycolysis convert pyruvate into lactate predominantly to: a. Obtain more energy (ATP) via lactate fermentation. b. Recycle NADH → NAD+. c. Use the lactate as a precursor to make amino acids and nucleic acids. d. To repress immune cells, which are lactate-intolerant. 4. In choosing a drug to selectively target cancer cells, why might it be better to inhibit the lactate exporter than the glucose importer: a. Cancer cells don't usually use much glucose. b. Other critical cells in the body need glucose. c. Healthy cells rarely export lactate, but many cancer cells do. d. Blocking lactate export can cause lactate to accumulate to harmful levels in the cancer cells.
