Does lactic acid affect performance?
Yes; lactic acid is the reason muscles cramp. It is a byproduct of when muscle cells perform glycolosis for energy in the absence of oxygen (occurs during repeated exercise of the muscle tissue because oxygen cannot be delivered fast enough).
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.
Conversion of subatomic particles occurs in?
Nuclear reactions
What reactants do lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation have in common?
Both occur anaerobically, or with exercise, but lactic acid occurs in muscles (you know that burning sensation after muscle fatigue? It's from lactic acid buildup in muscles) and alcoholic fermentation occurs by yeast. So basically, the main thing that they have in common is just that they occur anaerobically.
What happens to a glucose molecule when glycolysis occurs?
During Glycolysis, Glucosemolecules are split into two pyruvates during a sequence of enzyme-controlled reactions. This occurs in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
Where does the conversion of pyruvic acid to lactic acid takes place?
The reducing agent for the conversion of pyruvate in to lactate in muscle tissue is NADH
What is the process that occurs in muscle cells?
Fermentation. It occurs when a cell does not have sufficient oxygen to perform aerobic respiration. This process converts pyruvic acid into lactic acid which creates the burning feeling while you exercise.
What chemical cause pain and fatigue when anerobic respiration occurs?
Lactic Acid. After the body has used its store of oxygen, pyruvic acid turns to lactic acid (fermentation) which causes muscle ache after running for too long.
Does lactic acid affect performance?
Yes; lactic acid is the reason muscles cramp. It is a byproduct of when muscle cells perform glycolosis for energy in the absence of oxygen (occurs during repeated exercise of the muscle tissue because oxygen cannot be delivered fast enough).
What are 3 major steps in respiration?
Aerobic Respiration Occurs in 3 Major StagesGlycolysis - breaks glucose down into 2 molecules of pyruvic acid (a 3-C cmpd). This occurs in the cytoplasmKrebs Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle) - breaks pyruvic acid down into CO2. Occurs in mitochondria - O2 requiredElectron Transport System - transfers e that were removed from Krebs intermediates - Occurs in mitochondria and O2 is used
Where does transpiratation happen?
Transpiration occurs when plants and tree's release water and oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis.
What are the 2 types of fementation?
Alcaholic Fermination:*Pyruvic acid is converted to carbon dioxide and alcahol*Used to make bread, wine, beer, and ethenol.*bacteria and yeast.Lactic Acid Fermination:*Pyruvic acid is converted into lactic acid.*Occurs in animal cells-A build-up of lactic acid causes muscle fatique and soreness
