Lactic acid is as the name suggests, an acid that builds up in the body during intense bouts of physical activity. It is a by-product of the lacic acid energy system which is the predominant energy system from about the 10 second mark to the 40 second mark of maximum physical exertion. The most common sporting example of when the lactic acid system is predominant is during a 400m sprint.
Lactic acid is made up of two main components. They are Lactate, and Hydrogen ions (H+). Lactate is a non fatiguing by-product of the lactic acid system. In fact, lactate is used to produce energy in the liver through a process call "glyconeogenesis". H+ is a fatiguing by-product of the lactic acid system. Its acidic nature inhibits the function of glycolytic enzymes. Glycolytic enzymes are essential, in that, they are used to produce glycogen. This process is call "muscle acidosis".
What else can I help you with?
One type of fermentation in muscle cells produces?
Lactate (also known as lactic acid) and NAD+
Is lactic a base or an acid?
acid as in lactic acid?
Milk has which acid?
Milk contains lactic acid.
What has more acid than yogurt?
I'm not sure but, Lemon,Vinegar and lactic acid is in cheese..
What are the two main types of lactic acid?
The two main types of lactic acid are L-lactic acid and D-lactic acid. They are optical isomers, meaning they have the same chemical formula but differ in the arrangement of atoms. L-lactic acid is the form produced in the human body during strenuous exercise, while D-lactic acid is produced by certain bacteria.
Is lactose in lactic acid?
No. Lactic acid is a different molecule than lactose. Molecular Formulas: Lactic Acid- C3H6O3 Lactose- C12H22O11 In addition, lactose is a sugar molecular while, as you may guess, lactic acid is an acid. When raw milk turns sour or becomes curdled, lactic acid bacteria are fermenting lactose into lactic acid.
What are the products of lactic acid frementation?
Lactic acid (or lactate, which is the anion of lactic acid) is the product of lactic acid fermentation.
What is the by-product of lactic acid fermentation?
The by-product of lactic acid fermentation is lactic acid. This process occurs in muscle cells when oxygen is in short supply, leading to the production of lactic acid as a way to generate energy. Lactic acid can build up in muscles and cause fatigue and muscle soreness.
What is the empirical formula of lactic acid?
C6H12O6 --> 2C3H6O3+2ATP Sugar (glucose) → Lactic Acid + Carbon Dioxide + Energy (ATP) or Pyruvic acid + NADH → Lactic acid + NAD+
Anaerobic glucose breakdown produces a compound called?
it is the conversion of glucose into lactic acid
Lactic acid is muscle illness?
Lactic acid is NOT a muscle illness.
What is the name for ch3chohcooh?
The name for CH3CHOHCOOH is lactic acid.
