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.

What organism performs homo lactic fermentation?

Lactic acid bacteria, such as Lactobacillus and Streptococcus species, perform homo lactic fermentation where they convert pyruvate to lactic acid without producing any other byproducts. This process is commonly used in the production of foods like yogurt and sauerkraut.


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 are the two types of fermentation and their equations?

The two types of fermentation are alcoholic fermentation, which produces alcohol and carbon dioxide, and lactic acid fermentation, which produces lactic acid. The equation for alcoholic fermentation is: Glucose → 2 ethanol + 2 carbon dioxide The equation for lactic acid fermentation is: Glucose → 2 lactic acid.


How do the products of fermentation in animals differ from yeast?

In animals, fermentation produces lactate or lactic acid as a byproduct, while in yeast, fermentation produces ethanol and carbon dioxide. Lactic acid fermentation does not produce energy as efficiently as ethanol fermentation, which is why animals primarily rely on it during high-intensity exercise when oxygen is limited. Fermentation in animals occurs in muscle cells, while yeast fermentation takes place in yeast cells.


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 substance is used during fermentation of glucose during the anaerobic?

During anaerobic fermentation of glucose, the primary substance produced is ethanol in alcoholic fermentation, or lactic acid in lactic acid fermentation. In both processes, glucose is converted into energy, releasing byproducts such as carbon dioxide and either ethanol or lactic acid, depending on the organism involved. Yeasts typically perform alcoholic fermentation, while certain bacteria and muscle cells in animals carry out lactic acid fermentation.


Which fermentation sometimes occurs in a human?

Which type of fermentation sometimes occurs in humans?

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.


Do most organisms perform fermentation using a chemical reaction that converts pyruvic acid to lactic acid?

No, not all organisms perform fermentation by converting pyruvic acid to lactic acid. Some organisms, such as yeast, perform fermentation by converting pyruvic acid to ethanol and carbon dioxide through a process called alcoholic fermentation.


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.


What is the end product of fermentation in animals?

It produces Lactic Acids, ethanol, hydrogen gas, Sugar, Carbon Dioxide.
