In the absence of the gas oxygen, certain living things are capable of breaking down carbohydrates (starches and sugars) to form alcohol and carbon dioxide gas. This process is known as anaerobic respiration or fermentation, and it has been used for centuries in the production of certain foods and beverages.
Explain how oxygen is obtained by most complex organisms and then uses durning cellular respiration
Fermentation in muscle cells produces lactic acid. This happens when you have overworked your muscles, which can happen during exercise.
*muscle cells
Because mammalian muscle cells are genetically programmed to perform lactic acid fermentation, not ethanol fermentation.
*muscle cells
Lactic acid
The type of fermentation that sometimes occurs in human muscle cells is Lactic Acid fermentation.
Fermentation is a way to produce energy when there isn't enough oxygen available.
your muscle cells produce lactic acid or something like that. did you get that question on a worksheet? i did...

muscle cells
Lactic acid
Lactic acid builds up and causes muscle burn.
