The reducing agent for the conversion of pyruvate in to lactate in muscle tissue is NADH
The process of lactic acid fermentation can be found in various organisms, including certain bacteria and muscle cells in animals. It occurs in the absence of oxygen and involves the conversion of pyruvate to lactic acid, which helps generate energy when oxygen is scarce.
During lactic acid fermentation, pyruvic acid is reduced by NADH to form lactic acid. This process occurs in the cytoplasm of cells and helps regenerate NAD+ to continue glycolysis in the absence of oxygen. Lactic acid fermentation is commonly seen in muscle cells during intense exercise when oxygen availability is limited.
Lactic acid fermentation takes place in the cytoplasm of cells. It is an anaerobic process that converts pyruvate into lactic acid to regenerate NAD+ for glycolysis to continue in the absence of oxygen.
The products of aerobic respiration are water and carbon dioxide. The products of anaerobic respiration are carbon dioxide and either lactic acid or alcohol. The waste product of anaerobic respiration is lactic acid (in animals). In plants, ethanol is the waste product.
The products of the Krebs Cycle are ATP, NADH, FADH2, and carbon dioxide. The reactants are acetyl-CoA, NAD+, FAD, and ADP. The Krebs Cycle takes place in the mitochondrial matrix of eukaryotic cells.
ALCHOLIC FERMENTATION:- It occurs in bacteria,yeast etc. In this type of anaerobic resipiration pyruvic acid is further broken down into alcohol. Lactic fermentation:- It occurs in skeletal muscles of humans and other animals during extreme physical activities (when oxygen supply is not sufficent) and in bacteria present in milk. In lactic acid fermentation pyruvic acid is converted to lactic acid.This process is involved in the production of yogurt.
glucose is oxidised in 2 ways -with oxygen (aerobic) -without oxygen(anaerobic) aerobic respiration takes place in mitochondria . glucose in cytoplasm forms pyruvic acid is converted into carbon di oxide 38 ATP of energy and water anaerobic respiration may take place in muscle cells or RBCs in this glucose is converted into pyruvic acid in cytoplasm which changes to -lactic acid, water and 2 ATP of energy in muscle cells and RBCs -in yeast anaerobic respiration takes place pyruvic acid formed from glucose is converted to form alchohol and water as well as 2 ATP of energy
Glycolysis, the breakdown of glucose into two molecules of pyruvic acid, takes place in the cytosol, outside the mitochondria

glycolysis oxidises the glucose into pyruvate or pyruvic acid this process takes place in cytoplasm and not in mitochondria
Lactic acid fermentation is a type of fermentation that sometimes occurs in humans. This process occurs in muscle cells when the oxygen supply is limited during intense exercise, leading to the production of lactic acid as a byproduct.
As Anaerobic respiration takes place in two different processes so we have different products according to the process.In the case of alcoholic fermentation (such as in yeast), alcohol (C2H5OH) and CO2 are produced as the main products of anaerobic respiration.In case of lactic acid fermentation (e.g in muscle cells of humans) pyruvic acid is converted into lactic acid (C3H6O3)in anaerobic respiration.
