Explanation / Answer

The conversion of pyruvate to ethanol and CO2 – Fermentation

The synthesis of glycogen from glucose for storage purpose – Glycogenesis

Break down of macromolecules – Digestion

The conversion of glucose to lactic acid - Lactic acid fermentation

Lipid metabolism - The breakdown of fat or synthesis of fat is called lipid metabolism

The flow of lactate and glucose between muscle and liver - Cori cycle

The production of glucose from non-carbohydrate molecules - Gluconeogenesis
