occurs in the human body, this is caused by a succesion of anaerobic respiration, therefore not enough energy can be created due to the fact that there is a lack of oxygen to break those energy cells, therefore in order to somewhat 'compensate' the body fermentates the bi-products which are unable to carry on to further create energy for the body use. therefore latic acid is made- this is also the reasoning behind cramps etc. due to the fact anaerobic cellular respiration is occuring therefore not enoungh energy is created by the cells in order for movement or vital life processes.

Latic acid fermentation is useful in living creatures because?

Lactic acid fermentation is basically anaerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration is respiration which takes place in the absence of oxygen. Thus, it is a way of life in anaerobic organisms. Even in aerobic organisms, anaerobic respiration takes place when the concentration of oxygen is low. Thus it also helps anaerobic organisms to survive.


The main purpose of reduction of pyruvate to lactate during fermentation is to?

Alcoholic fermentation occurs in organisms such as yeast, as produces ethyl alcohol. Lactic acid fermentation occurs in animals such as humans and produces lactic acid instead of alcohol.


How do the two types of fermentation differ?

Aerobic fermentation occurs in an environment that contains air. Anaerobic fermentation occurs in one lacking air.


2 types of fermentation?

Two types of fermentation are alcohol fermentation and lactic-acid fermentation. Alcohol fermentation is the process in which 2 pyruvate molecules ,created by the means of glycosis, is further broken down into 2 ethanol molecules through alcohol fermentation. Lactic-acid fermentation is when the pyruvate molecules formed from glycosis is reduced to 2 lactate molecules.


What is the relationship between glycolysis and fermentation?

The two processes, fermentation and glycolysis, use the same pathways to convert glucose to pyruvic acid (see related links). However, in yeast under anaerobic conditions, the alcohol fermentation process* differs by a single additional step, in which the pyruvic acid is converted to ethanol (ethyl alcohol). * This process differs from the fermentation that occurs within cells. Although the cellular process also uses the pyruvic acid from glycolisis, ethanol or lactic acid is commonly produced.

What does latic acid fermenation convert into laticid acid?

Lactic acid fermentation converts pyruvate into lactic acid in the absence of oxygen. This process occurs in muscle cells during strenuous exercise when oxygen levels are low, leading to the buildup of lactic acid and temporary muscle fatigue.

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.
