When pyruvic acid is changed in to lactic acid fermentation?
Pyrubic acid formed during glycolysis is converted into lactic acid in the absence of oxygen and presence of NADH.
Where are the products and reactants of the Krebs Cycle and where does it take place?
The Krebs cycle takes place in the matrix of the mitochondria. Pyruvic acids go in and NADH comes out.
Where can the process of lactic-acid fermentation be found?
It takes place in cytoplasm. No mitochondria are involved.
What end products are made in anaerobic respiration?
The products of aerobic respiration are water and carbon dioxide. The products of anaerobic respiration are carbon dioxide and either lactic acid or alcohol. The waste product of anaerobic respiration is lactic acid (in animals). In plants, ethanol is the waste product.
Where does lactic acid fermentation take place?
Lactic acid fermentation occurs in muscle cells when there is not enough oxygen for the cells to undergo aerobic respiration. The buildup of lactic acid is what causes muscle pain when you exercise strenuously.
What is lactic acid fermentaion?
ALCHOLIC FERMENTATION:- It occurs in bacteria,yeast etc. In this type of anaerobic resipiration pyruvic acid is further broken down into alcohol. Lactic fermentation:- It occurs in skeletal muscles of humans and other animals during extreme physical activities (when oxygen supply is not sufficent) and in bacteria present in milk. In lactic acid fermentation pyruvic acid is converted to lactic acid.This process is involved in the production of yogurt.
Which type of fermentation sometimes occurs in humans?
lactic acid fermentation takes place in the humanbeings during strenous exercise during which pyruvic acid is converted into lactic acid and further lactic acid (during cori cycle) will be converted back to pyruvate when cells get enough oxygen after the exercise.
What chemical starts respiration?
glucose is oxidised in 2 ways -with oxygen (aerobic) -without oxygen(anaerobic) aerobic respiration takes place in mitochondria . glucose in cytoplasm forms pyruvic acid is converted into carbon di oxide 38 ATP of energy and water anaerobic respiration may take place in muscle cells or RBCs in this glucose is converted into pyruvic acid in cytoplasm which changes to -lactic acid, water and 2 ATP of energy in muscle cells and RBCs -in yeast anaerobic respiration takes place pyruvic acid formed from glucose is converted to form alchohol and water as well as 2 ATP of energy
What takes place in the cytosol of a eukaryotic cell?
Glycolysis, the breakdown of glucose into two molecules of pyruvic acid, takes place in the cytosol, outside the mitochondria
What type of fermentation takes place in your body muscles?
lactic acid fermentation
Which process takes place cells when they do not get enough oxygen?
Lactic acid fermentation
What does glycolysis do for cells?
glycolysis oxidises the glucose into pyruvate or pyruvic acid this process takes place in cytoplasm and not in mitochondria
What is the production of anaerobic respiration?
As Anaerobic respiration takes place in two different processes so we have different products according to the process.In the case of alcoholic fermentation (such as in yeast), alcohol (C2H5OH) and CO2 are produced as the main products of anaerobic respiration.In case of lactic acid fermentation (e.g in muscle cells of humans) pyruvic acid is converted into lactic acid (C3H6O3)in anaerobic respiration.

What type of fermentation takes place in your muscles when you exercise vigorously?
Lactic Acid Fermentation
What type of fermentation takes place in your muscles during exercise?
Lactic Acid Fermentation
