Lactic Acid
Lactic acid + energy
Lactic Acid is produced during extended muscle contraction by fermentation.
The two types of fermentation are alcoholic fermentation, and lactic-acid fermentation. Alcoholic fermentation, occurs in yeast and other single celled organisms. Lactic-acid fermentation occurs in muscle cells. Your muscles use it to create energy when there is not enough oxygen to use for normal respiration.
Fermentation in muscle cells produces lactic acid. This happens when you have overworked your muscles, which can happen during exercise.
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.
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.

Lactic Acid and Alcholic fermentation. Alcoholic fermentation is used in bread dough and yeasts in order to make them rise. Lactic Acid fermentation is found in body muscles, especially when you excersise. It helps to keep you breathing by transmitting oxygen when your oxygen levels are low.
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.
lactic acid fermentation
It allows muscles to function when there is not enough oxygen available (the lactic acid produced by this reaction results in the "burn" you feel when you exercise)
