In quantities over a certain level, lactic acid is toxic; this is why lactic acid is broken down after its formation, once sufficient oxygen is available.

What do both lactic-acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentaion produce?

Both lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation produce energy (in the form of ATP) and end products that help regenerate NAD+ so that glycolysis can continue. Lactic acid fermentation produces lactic acid, while alcoholic fermentation produces ethanol and carbon dioxide.


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.


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.


What is the chemical substance formed in the anaerobic respiration in muscles?

Lactic acid is the chemical substance formed during anaerobic respiration in muscles when there is not enough oxygen available to meet energy demands.


What best summarize lactic acid fermentation?

glucose> lactic acid+energy

Why is lactic acid classified as an acid?

Lactic acid is classified as an acid because it can donate a hydrogen ion (H) in a solution, making it acidic. This characteristic is what defines a substance as an acid in chemistry.


Is lactic acid is a pure substance or a mixture?

Lactic acid is a pure substance because it is a compound with a specific chemical formula, C3H6O3, and a specific molecular structure. It is not made up of different substances mixed together.

What substance causes muscle ache during strenuous exercise?

Lactic acid makes your muscles sore. Its the product of glycolisis, which your body uses to create energy in the absence of oxygen.


What substance is not produced in a muscle cell under anaerobic conditions?

Lactic acid (also called lactate).The product of glycolysis in the cytoplasm is pyruvic acid (= pyruvate). If there is not enough oxygen for the mitochondria to oxidize the pyruvic acid, the enzyme lactic acid (or lactate) dehydrogenase, which is in the cytoplasm, reduces the pyruvic acid to lactic acid.
