This anaerobic process is used mainly in muscle cells when the cells can not get enough oxygen while being exercised. Glycolysis is the process and only two ATP can be made for every molecule of glucose used in the process. Lactic acid is the waste build up.

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.


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.


What is Lactic acid fermentation used for?

As all fermentation is primarily used for; to generate ATP without the use of oxygen.


Which organism uses lactic acid fermentation to release energy from glucose and produces this lactic acid in the process?

Lactic acid fermentation is used by certain bacteria and fungi, but the most common example is in muscle cells in animals. During intense exercise when oxygen is limited, muscle cells switch to lactic acid fermentation to continue producing energy from glucose.


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.


Which type of fermentation causes muscle soreness?

Muscles use aerobic respiration to metabolize the energy they need to function. When they have insufficient oxygen to metabolize all the energy they need, they use anaerobic respiration in the form of fermentation. The Lactic acid which is created as a by product of fermentation builds up in the muscles and causes soreness.


If oxygen is not needed in a cell process the process is .?

A+ students - anaerobic The process in which cells don't use oxygen is called Fermentation. Fermentation and lactic acid fermentation are different, lactic acid fermentation uses the oxygen faster than you can breathe so you feel muscle pains.


How do human muscle cells use lactic acid fermentation to produce energy during intense physical activity?

During intense physical activity, human muscle cells use lactic acid fermentation to produce energy when there is not enough oxygen available. This process converts glucose into lactic acid, releasing energy that can be used by the muscles for short bursts of activity.


When and why does your body use lactic acid fermentation?

The body uses lactic acid fermentation when there is not enough oxygen available for aerobic respiration, which typically occurs during intense exercise or when oxygen supply is limited. This process helps produce energy quickly to sustain muscle activity.


What is the similarities and difference between lactic acid and alcohol fermentation?

Both lactic acid and alcohol fermentation are anaerobic processes that occur in living organisms to produce energy without the use of oxygen. The main difference is the byproducts produced: lactic acid fermentation produces lactic acid, while alcohol fermentation produces ethanol. Additionally, lactic acid fermentation is common in muscle cells during intense exercise, while alcohol fermentation is used by yeast to produce alcohol in processes like brewing and winemaking.
