Lactic acid is produced in muscles due to a lack of oxygen in the cells. There is also an increased level carbon dioxide in the cell. These two factors cause the cell to use lactic acid fermentation as a temporary energy source.

Which process causes athletes to experience a burning sensation in their muscles?
It is caused by the build up of lactic acid in the muscles.
What is formed during the process of anaerobic lactic acid fermentation?
Lactic acid which may cause fatigue if in muscles .
Anaerobic conditions in animals pyruvate is converted to what?
Lactic acid
What is an organic substance produced when a muscle is generating energy in the absence of oxygen?
Lactic Acid. when too much accumulates, your muscles become sore.
What is the function of 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)
When muscles are contracting under oxygen deficient conditions what is formed to ensure they maintain a supply of ATP?
Muscle cells produce lactic acid during anaerobic fermentation. A buildup of lactic acid cause your muscles to feel tired.
What is the type of fermentation used by human muscles in low oxygen conditions?
Human muscle cells undergo lactic acid fermentation in low oxygen conditions.
What do muscle cells produce when they are deprived of oxygen?
The muscles will produce lactic acid which feels like the muscles are burning.
When would your muscles produce lactic acid?
The muscles build lactic acid when you're doing strenuous exercise.
When muscles are contracting under oxygen deficient conditions what will they form to ensure they maintain a supply of ATP?
lactic acid
What does lactic acid do to your muscles?
gets ur muscles tight
Which process causes athletes to experience a burning sensation in their muscles?
It is caused by the build up of lactic acid in the muscles.
Which acid builds in your muscles when you work hard?
Lactic acid
What forms knots in your muscles?
Lactic acid.
When muscles are overworked sorness is caused by a buildup of?
It is caused by a buildup of lactic acid due to fermentation in the muscles. This is what is described as "the burn" when exercising.
Why do you get a burring sensation in your muscles during exercise?
that burning sensation is the lactic acid building up in your muscles when your muscles produce lactic acid the start to burn thats why you get the sensation
How does lactic acid get into your muscles?
Answer: Lactic acid gets into our muscle through lactic acid fermantation. Fermantation is getting a cell energy without using oxygen.
