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.

∙ 12y agoIt's generally caused by working muscles without having enough oxygen. Without oxygen, the normal aerobic respiration becomes anaerobic and creates lactic acid in order to produce energy without the oxygen. A buildup of lactic acid can cause cramps and such.

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.
When there is no oxygen available to human muscle cells the cells can continue to make ATP for a short time using what?
lactic acid fermentation
What is the chemical breakdown of carbohydrates that produces lactic acid?
Lactic acid is the painful product of a good workout. It is what builds up in your muscles and makes them burn. The acid is called an intermediate breakdown because it is only part of the process that glucose goes through in the human body.
Under normal circumstances which type of respiration is favored by the cell?
Depends on the cell and its evolutionary adaptations. For a human cell, aerobic respiration is favored, though some cells are able to switch to lactic acid fermentation.
What does fermentation in the muscles produce?
Lactic acid fermentation takes place in human muscle cells when strenuous exercise causes temporary oxygen shortages.
Which fermentation sometimes occurs in a human?
lactic acid
What is the type of fermentation used by human muscles in low oxygen conditions?
Human muscle cells undergo lactic acid fermentation in low oxygen conditions.
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.
Human cells that undergo fermentation produce?
they produce lactic acid (2CH3CHOHCOOH), 2ATP, heat.
Which of the following is chemical byproduct of fermentation in humans?
A chemical byproduct of fermentation in humans is methane. Fermentation in the human body happens in the colon. It helps in normal large intestine activity.
What is the name of the fermentation used by muscle cells?
The type of fermentation that sometimes occurs in human muscle cells is Lactic Acid fermentation.
Where in the body does alcohol fermentation occur?
Alcoholic Fermentation does not occur in human bodies but rather in plant cells when they do not receive adequate amounts of the necessary amounts of nutrients and minerals. Lactic fermentation however occurs in human cells located in the cytoplasm after glycolysis.
What kind of fermentation occurs in the human body?
well, when the body is not awesome muscles r tiredand fermentation happensits like giving ur body the energy its missingbut usually it relases lactic acidwhich makes ur muscles feel SOREThe Chetti.
What do human and animal cells obtain through lactic acid fermentation during exercises?
ATP
When there is no oxygen available to human muscle cells the cells can continue to make ATP for a short time using what?
lactic acid fermentation
How fermentation microorganisms produces human foods?
cause the mouth of the people are too big.
What three sources of ATP a human body uses at the beginning of a race?
The three sources of ATP a human body uses at the beginning of a race are ATP that is already in the muscles , new lactic acid fermentation , and cellular respiartion.
