WHAT IS sodium lactate?

Sodium lactate is a type of sodium salt of lactic acid. It is produced through fermentation and is used as a preservative.


What is the net production of ATP during complete oxidation of lactate?

After the completion of oxidation of lactate, 2 ATP molecules are produced. Lactate is then sent to the liver to be turned back into glycolysis.


Cheese yogurt and buttermilk are produced by bacteria that form?

What molecule is produced with the expenditure of nadh fermentation?

Lactate is produced in this way. It is a product of the NADH fermentation.


Why does lactate accumulate in the blood during bursts of very vigorous exercise?

Lactate accumulates because of the lack of available oxygen in the muscles. In anaerobic conditions, the pyruvate produced by glycolysis is reduced to lactate via lactate dehydrogenase (while also oxidizing a single molecule of NADH to regenerate NAD+). NAD+ is a very important molecule and must readily be available in the cytoplasm in order for glycolysis to proceed.


What does lactate cause?

Lactate threshold is caused when lactate production exceeds lactate clearance during exercise or increasing intensity.


What is the name enzymes that catalyzes the formation of lactate during lactate fermentation?

lactate dehydrogenase


What substance is not produced in a muscle cell under anaerobic conditions?

Lactic acid (also called lactate).The product of glycolysis in the cytoplasm is pyruvic acid (= pyruvate). If there is not enough oxygen for the mitochondria to oxidize the pyruvic acid, the enzyme lactic acid (or lactate) dehydrogenase, which is in the cytoplasm, reduces the pyruvic acid to lactic acid.


Does lactic acid fermentation breaks down glucose to release energy in anaerobic respiration?

It doesn't break down glucose per se. It breaks down the pyruvate produced from glycolysis into lactate. Only the liver has the ability to convert lactate back to pyruvate.


Why can't we survive with only fermentation?

not enough ATP is produced for our bodies to function

Is L-lactate a chiral molecule?

By writing "L-lactate" you basically answered your own question, yes, it is. It is the "left oriented" lactate :)
