Lactic Acid. The overall name of the burning feeling is lactic acid fermentation:-)
Lactic acid fermentation. This type of fermentation occurs when your muscles need more oxygen for energy, so fermentation gives your muscles a little extra energy.
Muscles use aerobic respiration to metabolize the energy they need to function. When they have insufficient oxygen to metabolize all the energy they need, they use anaerobic respiration in the form of fermentation. The Lactic acid which is created as a by product of fermentation builds up in the muscles and causes soreness.
Lactate buildup
Lactic acid fermentation takes place in the mitochondria of muscle cells.
It can be. It is a product of alcoholic fermentation.
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.
In yeast cells, the fermentation that occurs is alcoholic fermentation, in which O2 is changed into alcohol. They produce CO2 which is what makes bread rise, and wine and beer. In muscle cells, CO2 is not released as a waste product and the cells produce lactic acid. Have you ever felt a burning sensation in your muscles if you held something heavy with your arm straight? That was your muscles producing lactic acid. Fermentation occurs in muscle cells because they are being worked more with the same amount of oxygenated blood. Therefore they cannot produce ATP with the Kreb's Cycle and have to resort to fermentation (an anaerobic process - meaning without using oxygen) to keep themselves from dying.
Carbon dioxide is the product of organic materials (and carbon) burning or is released in the thermal decomposition of carbonates, fermentation etc.
The burning sensation in the muscles is likely caused by lactic acid.
oxygen debt. more oxygen is needed than what is being supplied. the body then begins anaerobic respiration (the cells "breathe" for you). a result of anaerobic respiration is lactic acid. lactic acid is that soreness feeling you get after a hard workout
Cells that do not require oxygen go through anaerobic respiration, which is a form of cellular respiration that uses fermentation to turn energy into useful energy. There are two types of anaerobic respiration, lactic acid fermentation and alcohol fermentation. Muscle cells do this when they run out of oxygen and go through fermentation instead. The product of this type of fermentation from muscle cells is lactic acid. Lactic acid is toxic and causes soreness and fatigue. Anybody who has been sore after exercise has experienced lactic acid fermentation.
