What is lactic acid and where does it take place?
in your legs
Where does lactic acid fermentation take place in animal cells?
The Cytoplasm
What does muscle cells produce under anaerobic conditions?
It's causes lactic acid fermentation to take place, which causes a build up of lactic acid. Only 2 ATP are made in oppose to the 34-38 made by aerobic respiration through cellular respiration
What is the reaction of lactic acid and water?
The overall reaction for lactic acid fermentation is an anaerobic reaction. This means that oxygen is not required for the reaction to take place.
Where does lactic acid fermentation take place?
Lactic acid fermentation occurs in muscle cells when there is not enough oxygen for the cells to undergo aerobic respiration. The buildup of lactic acid is what causes muscle pain when you exercise strenuously.
Where and why does lactic acid fermentation take place?
Lactic acid fermentation takes place in the mitochondria of muscle cells.
What can the build up of lactic acid cause in an athlete?
Muscle soreness and overall muscle fatigue. Get in a good isolated or hydrolyzed whey protein with a full spectrum amino complex and take it within 30 minutes post work out. It will combat the lactic acid and speed up overall muscle recovery. Helps with strength as well.
Is there any medicine or treatment to stop the build up of lactic acid or whatever it is in your legs?
There is not any medicine prescribed for lactic acid build up. You can take motrin/ibuprofin/advil or whatever you prefer and the pain should die down. If you are a runner make sure to do a cool down run after a big workout. to cool down; JOG about a mile and the lactic acid will settle and you will not get sore.
How does the lactic 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 is the chemical breakdown of carbohydrates that produces lactic acid?
Lactic acid is the painful product of a good workout. It is what builds up in your muscles and makes them burn. The acid is called an intermediate breakdown because it is only part of the process that glucose goes through in the human body.
What can you take that does the same thing as Tylenol?
Tylenol is a brand name for a drug called acetaminophen, an over the counter analgesic.
Why does an athlete who runs a 100 meter race take glucose after he has run race?
The athlete may run the 100 meters race in 10 to 12.5 seconds. He may not take single breath in such a short time. Lot of lactic acid may be produced in the process. He needs that extra glucose for his brain and body. Glucose probably help to revert the lactic acid to pyruvic acid.
