Why do Animals sometimes perform lactic acid fermentation?
Noodle101
Many times, it's because of the lack of oxygen in the area. During aerobic exercises, your body may need more oxygen than you can intake, causing lactic acid fermentation, which is anaerobic and does not require oxygen.
There aren't many ATP molecules produced during this process, so it's best to let your body rest to get oxygen using mitochondria rather than glycolysis.

∙ 8y agoAside from the fact that the consequence of making alcohol (ethanol) in muscles during exercise is hardly beneficial (trying to escape from a predator for example, and getting drunk in the process), ethanol production is also accompanied by carbon-dioxide release. The reason for going over to fermentation from biological oxidation was gas transport in the blood stream lagging behind the need for energy production in the first place. There is no way circulation could eliminate the excess carbon dioxide.

What are the 2 types of fermentation and what do each produce?
The two types of fermentation are alcoholic fermentation and lactic acid fermentation. Alcoholic fermentation is also referred to as ethanol fermentation.
What is the purpose of the fermentation reactions after glycolysis?
Trick question: glycolysis is anaerobic fermentation resulting in lactic acid in animals, and ethanol and carbon dioxide in plants and fungi.
What are the two types of fermentation and their equations?
Alcohol Fermentation Glucose --> ATP+CO2+Alcohol Lactic Acid Fermentation Glucose --> ATP+Lactic Acid
What is the by-product of lactic acid fermentation?
Lactic acid fermentation produces lactic acid, carbon dioxide, and ATP.
Why does lactic acid fermentation occurs only in animals not in plants?
Your assumption is wrong. In anaerobic conditions (like in muscle tissue) lactic acid (and ethanol) fermentation occurs in plants too. It's bad for plants and if it continues for too long they die.
What is priduced by animals during fermentation?
Lactic acid is produced by animals during fermentation .
What is produced in your muscles when they perform fermentation?
Lactic acid + energy
Which fermentation sometimes occurs in a human?
lactic acid
What are reactants in fermentation?
In animals, fermentation is referred to as lactic acid fermentation. Its reactants include a sugar molecule, pyruvate and NADH. It produces lactic acid and releases energy.

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.
When does lactic acid fermentation occur in animals?
2+2=4 :))
Explain why muscles must use lactic acid fermentation instead of cellular respiration during intense physical activity?
Because mammalian muscle cells are genetically programmed to perform lactic acid fermentation, not ethanol fermentation.
Alchoholic fermentation and Lactic Acid fermentation?
Yes? lactic acid fermentation produces only lactic acid alcoholic fermentation produces ethanol and co2
How the lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation?
Lactic fermentation transform sugars having six carbons in lactic acid.Alcoholic fermentation transform sugars in ethanol and carbon dioxide.
What is the end product of fermentation in animals?
It produces Lactic Acids, ethanol, hydrogen gas, Sugar, Carbon Dioxide.
