What does lactic acid have to do with respiration?
Lactic acid is produced by anaerobic respiration (when there is an absence or insufficiency of oxygen intake). If there is adequate oxygen (provided by respiration) and metabolic fuel, lactic acid is not produced.
Muscle cells in oxygen deprivation convert pyruvate to?
lactic acid
What molecule accumulates in oxygen debt?
lactic acid
What cause human to become lactic acid fermentation?
When the human body is without oxygen for short periods of time, our bodies are capable of producing ATP by lactic acid fermenters. Often our body carries out this process in muscle cells because to workouts. For more in depth info: See: Sophomore Biology Chapter 9 Section 3; Pearson Biology - Miller & Levine 2010 page # 263
Is lactic acid a hazardous substance?
In quantities over a certain level, lactic acid is toxic; this is why lactic acid is broken down after its formation, once sufficient oxygen is available.
Glycolysis takes place in?
Defining Glycolysis as ' the anaerobic degradation of glucose to yield lactic acid ', the most common location of this activity is in oxygen depleted muscle cells.
What happens to the joints after exercise?
Lactic acid is produced in your body and your legs start to ache, tire and hurt!! Usually you need to oxygen to calm it, as Lactic acid is also known as oxygen debt
How is exercise oxygen debt repaid?
During the period of resting, the breathing rate continues to be fast for a while. This provide sufficient oxygen to repay back the oxygen debt. In the liver, some of the lactic acid is oxidized to produce energy. This energy is used up to convert the lactic acid back to glucose. Lactic acid is toxic and cannot be stored or kept in our body for too long. When lactic acid is used up, oxygen debt is being paid.
Where does veins carry oxygen depleted blood to?
Veins carry oxygen depleted blood to the heart.
Does ones blood turn dark as they approach death?
Dark blood is blood from which the oxygen has been depleted. Once it is filled with oxygen again (in the lungs), it becomes lighter in color.
What does lactic acid have to do with respiration?
Lactic acid is produced by anaerobic respiration (when there is an absence or insufficiency of oxygen intake). If there is adequate oxygen (provided by respiration) and metabolic fuel, lactic acid is not produced.
Depleted of oxygen?
Hypoxia is the term used for low, or depleted, oxygen levels. It occurs naturally at high altitudes or in the deeper regions of the sea.
What is the difference between Lactic acid fermentation and Aerobic equation?
The main difference between lactic acid fermentation and aerobic equation is the presence of oxygen. Lactic acid fermentation does not require oxygen, while in aerobic equation, oxygen is present.
Does lactic acid fermentation produce oxygen?
No
What accumulates in oxygen debt?
lactic acid
Muscle cells in oxygen deprivation convert pyruvate to?
lactic acid
When no oxygen is present for muscle cells after glycolysis what will the cell produce?
Lactic Acid :)
