The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Cori Cycle**: The Cori cycle is a metabolic pathway that involves the conversion of lactate (or lactic acid) produced by muscles during anaerobic respiration back into glucose in the liver. 2. **Anaerobic Breakdown of Glucose**: During intense exercise, when oxygen levels are low, muscles break down glucose anaerobically, producing lactic acid as a byproduct. 3. **Transport of Lactic Acid**: The lactic acid produced in the muscles is then transported to the liver through the bloodstream. 4. **Conversion in the Liver**: In the liver, lactic acid is converted back into glucose through gluconeogenesis. This glucose can then be released back into the bloodstream to be used by the muscles or stored for future energy needs. 5. **Identifying Involved Organs**: Since both the muscles (where lactic acid is produced) and the liver (where lactic acid is converted back to glucose) are involved in the Cori cycle, the correct answer to the question is that it involves both the liver and muscles. 6. **Final Answer**: Therefore, the appropriate answer is option number 3: "liver and muscles both". ---
