Which statement below best describes the reason why the energy cost of the Cori Cycle is net +4 ATP?Because it requires an investment of 8 ATP equivalents for gluconeogenesis in liver, but the recovery of ATP in from glycolysis in muscle is only 4 ATP.Because the yield of 6 GTP in gluconeogenesis offsets the investment of 2 ATP in glycolysis, therefore +4 ATP for the Cori Cycle.Because it requires an investment of 6 ATP equivalents for gluconeogenesis in liver, but the recovery of ATP in from glycolysis in muscle is only 2 ATP.Because the investment of 2 GTP in gluconeogenesis actually counts the same as +4 ATP equivalents, therefore +4 ATP for the Cori Cycle.
