It's when your body doesn't have enough oxygen to perform the "normal" process of creating energy, or ATP. Without the oxygen, our bodies perform lactic acid fermentation, which still produces energy but not as much as the one with oxygen. That energy is stored in the form of lactic acid.

What is used up during lactic acid fermentation?
Simple sugars are converted to lactic acid in anaerobic respiration.
Where are lactic acid bacteria used?
in ur butt
What two substances are used to make fermentation?
Alcoholic Fermentation and Lactic Acid Fermentation
How are alcholic and lactic acid fermentation different?
lactic acid fermentation helps make yogurt, cheese, and it also occurs in muscles which is why you may get that burning sensation in your legs while excersizing. Alcoholic fermentation makes wine and bread using yeast.
What is the difference between ethanol fermentation and lactic acid fermentation?
lactic acid fermentation, is an enzyme converts pyruvic acid made during glycolysis into another three-carbon compound. Alcoholic fermentation, is to convert pyruvic acid into ethyl alcohol.
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.
How is lactic acid bacteria used in soy sauce?
Lactic Acid...... this adds flavour....

What is the purpose of a lactic acid test?
The lactic acid test is used as an indirect assessment of the oxygen level in tissues and to determine the cause and course of lactic acidosis.
Is lactic acid a carbohydrate?
yes, because lactic acid is a sugar compound. lactic acid is the product of the chemical equation 6H2O+6CO2+ATP=Energy, where the energy used is the sugars(Carbohydrates) and the product is the lactic acid formed from the ATP during the energy exertion during exercise. yes, because lactic acid is a sugar compound. lactic acid is the product of the chemical equation 6H2O+6CO2+ATP=Energy, where the energy used is the sugars(Carbohydrates) and the product is the lactic acid formed from the ATP during the energy exertion during exercise.
What lactic acid?
AnswerLactic acid is as the name suggests, an acid that builds up in the body during intense bouts of physical activity. It is a by-product of the lacic acid energy system which is the predominant energy system from about the 10 second mark to the 40 second mark of maximum physical exertion. The most common sporting example of when the lactic acid system is predominant is during a 400m sprint.Lactic acid is made up of two main components. They are Lactate, and Hydrogen ions (H+). Lactate is a non fatiguing by-product of the lactic acid system. In fact, lactate is used to produce energy in the liver through a process call "glyconeogenesis". H+ is a fatiguing by-product of the lactic acid system. Its acidic nature inhibits the function of glycolytic enzymes. Glycolytic enzymes are essential, in that, they are used to produce glycogen. This process is call "muscle acidosis".

What does your body release when your muscles are used?
lactic acid
When muscles are used for and extended period of time what builds up in the muscle tissue?
That is lactic acid. This is what produces a "burning" feeling.
Where does the sour taste in foods come from such as cheese and yogurt?
Lactic acid produced by fermentation.
Is lactic acid produced when fats are used for fuel?
Acid lactic is released as a burning sensation of muscle and inhibits the muscle's ability to continue contracting.
