Your body uses lactic acid fermentation when oxygen levels are not adequate for proper cellular respiration. Our bodies need oxygen(aerobic) to continue exerting themselves, so when our muscles do not get enough oxygen from our breathing it resorts to fermentation, or the anaerobic (non oxygen using) pathway. This creates lactic acid in our muscles, which is the cause for cramps while being physically active.
Hope this helps! :)

∙ 14y agoYour body uses lactic acid fermentation when it runs out of oxygen. Oxygen is a key part to Cellular Respiration, which makes 38 ATP (energy) molecules. Fermentation only makes 2 ATP because the body has no oxygen.

What is the use of lactic acid fermentation in the kitchen?
Hot Dilly beans are an example of lactic acid fermentation.
Which organism uses lactic acid fermentation to release energy from glucose and produces this lactic acid in the process?
lactic acid is what gives our yogurt we eat the recognizable taste feature alsp organisms use lactic acid to release energy from glucose to produce
Can cardiac muscle fibers use lactic acid to make ATP?
True
List the two type of fermentation and tell where each take place?
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.
How long has lactic acid fermentation been in use?
It has always been in use in our bodies as long as we have been on this Earth.
How does swimming use lactic acid?
After a while of swimming, your muscles use lactic acid. It uses it through Lactic acid fermentation. It results in more energy.
How is lactic aid removed from the body?
It is not removed. The lactic acid contains a lot of energy so the body can use it to release more energy The lactic acid passes into the blood and it is transported to the liver where it is converted into a respiratory substrate called pyruvate The body can then use the energy in pyruvate to make more ATP which is the energy currency of the body. This produces water and carbon dioxide

Does latic acid cause muscle fatigue?
Lactic acid is produced when the body performs shot, intense bursts of work. Lactic acid comes from the body's need for quick energy. As such, the body converts glucose (stored sugars) into ATP (Usable energy) rapidly without the use of oxygen. This is Anaerobic activity because there is no use of oxygen. Fatigue develops after an extended use of Anaerobic work. The body uses Lactate (lactic acid) for fast energy and has to work to remove the waste products from your muscles. This is the burn and fatigue you feel.
What is the use of lactic acid fermentation in the kitchen?
Hot Dilly beans are an example of lactic acid fermentation.
What sport use the lactic acid system?
Swimming, running, and basketball use the lactic acid system.
Do your body cells always use cellular respiration and fermentation?
Yes. Cell respiration and lactic acid fermentation.
Why do sports such as swimming and running use the lactic acid system?
Lactic acid is produced when muscles in the body move at high rates and over long periods of time. So, even with swimming, you move your arms and legs a lot to gain speed, and this causes the acid to form. In reality, this acid is another type of acid, however it combines with oxygen to form Lactic Acid.

How does the energy system recover?
The lactic acid energy system relies on the breakdown of glycogen to produce energy. As it does not require oxygen to break down glycogen a by-product called lactic acid is formed. If enough lactic acid is accumulated then the body begins to fatigue. To recover, the lactic acid requires oxygen. Once oxgen is present the lactic acid can be converted back to pyruvic acid which can once again be used to produce energy. Therefore to speed up recovery of the lactic system an "active"recovery at a low intencity is recommended. This then employs the use of the aerobic energy system which requires oxygen to be transported to the working muscles, and at the same time removing the fatiguing lactic acid.
What do you produce when you use bacteria that uses lactic acid?
curd
Which team game uses the lactic acid system?
Most team games use the lactic acid system. However, this is more common in Invasion games.
