No they are not the same. One is an acid while one is a base.

What is the differences between anaerobic threshold and lactate threshold?

Lactate Threshold and Anaerobic Threshold (also known as the Onset of Blood Lactate Accumulation OBLA) are very similar and for most intents and purposes are referred to as the same thing. Lactate Threshold is the point at which lactic acid produce in the muscle during glycolysis is not metabolised as fast as it is being produced. Anaerobic Threshold is the result of this Lactate Threshold, after Lactate Threshold occurs the extra lactic acid from the muscle then acuminates into the blood, once Blood Lactate (BL) level reaches 4 mmol/L it is defined as Anaerobic Threshold or OBLA. Additionally, this Lactic acid is then Broken into lactate and acid (H+ ions). The lactate is recycled and used as an energy source, while the H+ ions are neutralised in the blood, with a by-product being CO2, the CO2 then needs to be expelled through ventilation, this is called Ventilatory Threshold (VT) and is characterised by a sudden heavy ventilation. Put simply Lactate Threshold, Anaerobic Threshold and Ventilatory Threshold happen in a cascade chain and each threshold usually occurs soon after the one before it.

What are the reactants in animal fermentation?

Pyruvate and NADH because of the different strains and ways of metabolic , the products generated by different sorts are not same in which lactic acid fermentation is divided into 3 types ,the same type of lactic acid fermentation ,abnormal fermentation of lactic acid and bifidobecterium fermentation


What is the pH number of lactic acid?

As with any acid, that depends entirely on its concentration. The greater the concentration (until saturation) the lower the pH. Lactic acid is a "middle of the road" weak acid; all in equal concentrations, lactic acid is stronger than citric, weaker than acetic, and about the same as formic.


What are the physiological factors that may alter the amount of lactic acid accumulation in the same athlete?

Lactic acid is a byproduct of energy use in the muscle fibers. It can result in a cramp or weakness. The physiological factors that may alter the amount of lactic acid accumulation can be the stress or pressure to win the game.


How does the energy system recover?

The lactic acid energy system relies on the breakdown of glycogen to produce energy. As it does not require oxygen to break down glycogen a by-product called lactic acid is formed. If enough lactic acid is accumulated then the body begins to fatigue. To recover, the lactic acid requires oxygen. Once oxgen is present the lactic acid can be converted back to pyruvic acid which can once again be used to produce energy. Therefore to speed up recovery of the lactic system an "active"recovery at a low intencity is recommended. This then employs the use of the aerobic energy system which requires oxygen to be transported to the working muscles, and at the same time removing the fatiguing lactic acid.

MIlk is converted to yogurt under certain conditions when the microorganisms in the milk produce acid what process would you expect to be key in the production of yogurt?

d. lactic acid fermentation i have the same sheet. my teaches gave us the answers :)


If fermentation is similar to the process of cellular respiration but missing what key ingredient?

oxygen. the same goes for lactic acid


Distinguish between the products of the two types of fermentation discussed in this section?

There are two types of fermentation ususally studied in Biology: Alcoholic Fermentation and Lactic Acid Fermentation. Both types have the same reactants: Pyruvic acid and NADH, both of which are products of glycolysis. In alcoholic fermentation, the major products are alcohol and carbon dioxide. In lactic acid fermentation, the major product is lactic acid. For both types of fermentation, there is a side product: NAD+ which is recycled back to glycolysis so that small amounts of ATP can continue to be produced in the absence of oxygen. Im a beast


Is sulfuric and muratic acid the same?

Muratic acid is another name for hydrochloric acid, so it is not the same thing as sulfuric acid.


Is stomach acid and gastric acid the same?

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is one of the component of gastric acid (also called gastric juice). Other components include electrolytes and enzymes. So no, hydrochloric acid is NOT the same thing as gastric acid


How is the tolerance of lactic acid Increased?

Well it is increased in three parts, hte main and most important being the bodys ability to adapt to high levels of the lactate same as found in most types of cheese. So if you eat more cheese it is proven that muscles will rapidly increase in size massive hypertrophy. Your body can easily adapt to these changes with chronic exercise.There are alot of horses that have the same problem.
