Lactic acid fermentation occurs in muscle cells when is in low supply?
Lactic acid fermentation occurs due to the lack of oxygen in the the muscle cells Aerobic respiration requires oxygen as an electron receiver to complete the electron transport system, so without it, the cells will be unable to undergo normal respiration and will resort to lactic acid fermentation
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.
What happens to a muscle cell during intense physical activity?
During intense physical activity, glycogen; which is energy stored in muscle cells, is used during intense muscle contractions.
During a race how do your muscles produce ATP after the store of ATP in muscles is used?
muscle cells produce ATP by cellular respiration through fermentation
How does human cells use fermentation?
Fermentation is simply anaerobic cellular respiration where an organic compound is used as an electron acceptor instead of using oxygen. Consequently, lots of types of cells can utilize fermentation. There are examples of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes that are capable of anaerobic respiration. The most common example of fermentation is in the yeast cell, which produces the alcohol found in beer. Another example is the human muscle cell, which produces lactic acid through fermentation when there is not enough oxygen present to continue cellular respiration (such as after a long jog).
Why do muscle cells and a brain cells need a lot of energy?
Well, muscle cells are used to do work. And brain cells are used constantly.
What does yeast cells produce in fermentation?
Fermentation is an anaerobic process in which energy can be released from glucose even though oxygen is not available. Fermentation occurs in yeast cells, and a form of fermentation takes place in bacteria and in the muscle cells of animals.In yeast cells (the yeast used for baking and producing alcoholic beverages), glucose can be metabolized through cellular respiration as in other cells. When oxygen is lacking, however, glucose is still metabolized to pyruvic acid via glycolysis. The pyruvic acid is converted first to acetaldehyde and then to ethyl alcohol. The net gain of ATP to the yeast cell is two molecules-the two molecules of ATP normally produced in glycolysis.Yeasts are able to participate in fermentation because they have the necessary enzyme to convert pyruvic acid to ethyl alcohol. This process is essential because it removes electrons and hydrogen ions from NADH during glycolysis. The effect is to free the NAD so it can participate in future reactions of glycolysis. The net gain to the yeast cell of two ATP molecules permits it to remain alive for some time. However, when the percentage of ethyl alcohol reaches approximately 15 percent, the alcohol kills the yeast cells. Yeast is used both in bread and alcohol production. Alcohol fermentation is the process that yields beer, wine, and other spirits. The carbon dioxide given off during fermentation supplements the carbon dioxide given off during the Krebs cycle and causes bread to rise.In muscle cells, another form of fermentation takes place. When muscle cells contract too frequently (as in strenuous exercise), they rapidly use up their oxygen supply. As a result, the electron transport system and Krebs cycle slow considerably, and ATP production is slowed. However, muscle cells have the ability to produce a small amount of ATP through glycolysis in the absence of oxygen. The muscle cells convert glucose to pyruvic acid. Then an enzyme in the muscle cells converts the pyruvic acid to lactic acid. As in the yeast, this reaction frees up the NAD while providing the cells with two ATP molecules from glycolysis. Eventually, however, the lactic acid buildup causes intense fatigue, and the muscle cell stops contracting.
Why can stem cells be used to treat paralysis?
stem cells can differentiate into nerve or muscle cells
What two mechanisms are used to generate ATP from glucose to muscle cells?
Glycolosis (in the cytoplasm) and aerobic metabolism (in the mitochondria) are used to generate ATP from glucose in muscle cells.
Process used by yeast?
Yeast cells undergo cellular respiration. Yeast cells need oxygen to complete the first stage of the cell cycle, so they must first undergo cellular respiration.
Do some muscle cells pull when they contract and others push as relax?
No muscle cells push, it just depends which muscle is doing the pulling. In a common joint, one muscle is used to pull the body part one way, and a different one is used to pull it back.
Why muscle cell called muscle fibre?
Muscle cells are called muscle fibers because of their long, slender shape that resembles a fiber. The structure of muscle cells allows them to contract and generate force, which is essential for muscle function. The term "fiber" is used to describe the long, cylindrical shape of these cells that run parallel to each other in muscle tissue.
