Glycolysis is reduced in lactic acid fermentation process
Lactic acid fermentation is a biological process by which sugars such as glucose, fructose, and sucrose, are converted into cellular energy and the metabolic byproduct lactate. It is the anaerobic form of respiration that occurs in some bacteria and animal cells, such as muscle cells, in the absence of oxygen.
Lactic acid fermentation is the simplest type of fermentation. Essentially, it is a redox reaction. In anaerobic conditions, the cell's primary mechanism of ATP production is glycolysis. Glycolysis reduces - transfers electrons to - NAD+, forming NADH. However, there is only a limited supply of NAD+ available in a cell. For glycolysis to continue, NADH must be oxidized - have electrons taken away - to regenerate the NAD+. This is usually done through an electron transport chain in a process called oxidative phosphorylation; however, this mechanism is not available without oxygen.

Does fermentation releases lactic acid?
Your muscle cells do when you preform lactic acid fermentation.
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.
What do both lactic-acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentaion produce?
Both alcoholic and lactic acid fermentation produce pyruvic acid (pyruvate), as an intermediate substance.
What is generated during lactic acid fermentation?
your body create alcohol
What is used up during lactic acid fermentation?
Simple sugars are converted to lactic acid in anaerobic respiration.
What is the electron donor in lactic acid fermentation?
During lactic acid fermentation of glucose,Pyr + NADH --> Lactic acid + NAD(+)During this process NADH donates it's 2 electrons associated with its proton of H, pyruvate acceptsthoseelectrons, and lactic acid is the final reduced product
What is formed during fermentation either ethy1 alcohol and carbon dioxide?
lactic acid can also be produced in lactic acid fermentation when oxygen is absent. in this process, pyruvic acid is reduced to lactic acid and NADH is oxidized to NAD+.
During lactic acid fermentation alcohol and carbon dioxide are produced?
The process that produces ethanol is alcoholic fermentation. The process that produces lactic acid is lactic acid fermentation.
What is priduced by animals during fermentation?
Lactic acid is produced by animals during fermentation .
2 types of fermentation?
Two types of fermentation are alcohol fermentation and lactic-acid fermentation. Alcohol fermentation is the process in which 2 pyruvate molecules ,created by the means of glycosis, is further broken down into 2 ethanol molecules through alcohol fermentation. Lactic-acid fermentation is when the pyruvate molecules formed from glycosis is reduced to 2 lactate molecules.
Does fermentation releases lactic acid?
Your muscle cells do when you preform lactic acid fermentation.
What substance produced by alcoholic fermentation makes your muscles hurt?
Lactic Acid

What type of fermentation takes place in your muscles during exercise?
Lactic Acid Fermentation
What do both lactic-acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentaion produce?
Both alcoholic and lactic acid fermentation produce pyruvic acid (pyruvate), as an intermediate substance.
Type of fermentation that occurs in muscle during rapid exercise?
Type of fermentation that occurs in muscles during rapid exercise? Answer: lactic acid fermentation
When does lactid acid and fermentation occur?
Lactic acid and fermentation occur during anaerobic metabolism.
