In humans, lactic acid occurs in aneroobic condition. when you do not have enough oxygen but you still need energy. Normally, oxidative phosphorylation occurs when there is enough oxygen. Instead a lack of oxygen requires--in humans of course to have this occur: NADH reduces lactate dehydrogenase to generate lacate. why this occurs is so your body can continue functioning. e.g if you were working out this lactic acid builds up. Normally enough oxgen would breakdown glucose through oxidative phoshorlyation. This lactic acid that builds up is actually toxic-- your body ends up converting some of that lactic acid to carbon dioxide and water.

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.
