Lactic acid is by-product of cell respiration. Its something secrete by your muscles when you work them overly. The cells in your body usually respirate normally by Glycolysis-Krebs Cycle-Electron Transport chain. However, when oxygen to these runs out (i.e. when you run so fast your demand for oxygen is more than the supply), your muscles use alcohol and lactic acid fermentation to produce oxygen. This has no really harmful effect on your body, but it can crystallize and cause muscle aches. This is the aches, sores, and cramps you get the morning after a marathon, jogathon, extreme workout, etc. (how did I do? rate me :) )
What else can I help you with?
One type of fermentation in muscle cells produces?
Lactate (also known as lactic acid) and NAD+
Is lactic a base or an acid?
acid as in lactic acid?
Milk has which acid?
Milk contains lactic acid.
What has more acid than yogurt?
I'm not sure but, Lemon,Vinegar and lactic acid is in cheese..
What are the two main types of lactic acid?
The two main types of lactic acid are L-lactic acid and D-lactic acid. They are optical isomers, meaning they have the same chemical formula but differ in the arrangement of atoms. L-lactic acid is the form produced in the human body during strenuous exercise, while D-lactic acid is produced by certain bacteria.
Is lactose in lactic acid?
No. Lactic acid is a different molecule than lactose. Molecular Formulas: Lactic Acid- C3H6O3 Lactose- C12H22O11 In addition, lactose is a sugar molecular while, as you may guess, lactic acid is an acid. When raw milk turns sour or becomes curdled, lactic acid bacteria are fermenting lactose into lactic acid.
What are the products of lactic acid frementation?
Lactic acid (or lactate, which is the anion of lactic acid) is the product of lactic acid fermentation.
What is the by-product of lactic acid fermentation?
The by-product of lactic acid fermentation is lactic acid. This process occurs in muscle cells when oxygen is in short supply, leading to the production of lactic acid as a way to generate energy. Lactic acid can build up in muscles and cause fatigue and muscle soreness.
What is the empirical formula of lactic acid?
C6H12O6 --> 2C3H6O3+2ATP Sugar (glucose) → Lactic Acid + Carbon Dioxide + Energy (ATP) or Pyruvic acid + NADH → Lactic acid + NAD+
Anaerobic glucose breakdown produces a compound called?
it is the conversion of glucose into lactic acid
Lactic acid is muscle illness?
Lactic acid is NOT a muscle illness.
What is the name for ch3chohcooh?
The name for CH3CHOHCOOH is lactic acid.
