In yeast cells, the fermentation that occurs is alcoholic fermentation, in which O2 is changed into alcohol. They produce CO2 which is what makes bread rise, and wine and beer. In muscle cells, CO2 is not released as a waste product and the cells produce lactic acid. Have you ever felt a burning sensation in your muscles if you held something heavy with your arm straight? That was your muscles producing lactic acid. Fermentation occurs in muscle cells because they are being worked more with the same amount of oxygenated blood. Therefore they cannot produce ATP with the Kreb's Cycle and have to resort to fermentation (an anaerobic process - meaning without using oxygen) to keep themselves from dying.

Which type of fermentation is occurs in muscle cell?

yeast


Fermentation may occur in a muscle under what type of condition?

Fermentation occurs in muscles after strenuous exercise and physical activity. Lactic acid fermentation occurs when muscles are in need of oxygen.


Do all types of fermentation make CO2?

No, not all types of fermentation produce carbon dioxide (CO2). For example, alcoholic fermentation, which occurs in yeast, typically produces CO2 along with ethanol. In contrast, lactic acid fermentation, which occurs in certain bacteria and muscle cells, primarily produces lactic acid without generating CO2. Therefore, the type of fermentation determines whether CO2 is produced or not.


What kind of fermentation occurs in the muscle during rapid exercise?

lactic acid


Lactic acid fermentation occurs in muscle cells when what is low in supply?

oxygen


When fermentation occurs in muscle cells muscle fatigue is called by the production of?

Lactic acid builds up and causes muscle burn.


What is the name of the fermentation used by muscle cells?

The type of fermentation that sometimes occurs in human muscle cells is Lactic Acid fermentation.


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.


Lactic acid fermentation occurs in muscle cell when is in low supply?

Lactic acid fermentation occurs due to the lack of oxygen in the the muscle cells Aerobic respiration requires oxygen as an electron receiver to complete the electron transport system, so without it, the cells will be unable to undergo normal respiration and will resort to lactic acid fermentation

Type of fermentation that occurs in muscle during rapid exercise?

Lactic acid fermentation occurs in muscles during rapid exercise when there is an insufficient supply of oxygen to support aerobic respiration. This process converts pyruvate into lactate, helping to regenerate NAD+ so glycolysis can continue to produce ATP for energy.


Where does lactic acid fermentation take place?

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.
