Lactic acid is produced by anaerobic respiration (when there is an absence or insufficiency of oxygen intake). If there is adequate oxygen (provided by respiration) and metabolic fuel, lactic acid is not produced.

What kind of respiration produces lactic acid?

Anaerobic respiration produces lactic acid. This type of respiration occurs when oxygen is not readily available, leading to the conversion of pyruvate to lactic acid to regenerate NAD+ for glycolysis to continue.


What is the end product of anaerobic respiration?

"http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_end_product_of_anaerobic_respiration_in_human_being"Besides energy, you also have lactic acid as a byproduct which is very dangerous if not removed quickly by repaying the oxygen debt.


What end products are made in anaerobic respiration?

The products of aerobic respiration are water and carbon dioxide. The products of anaerobic respiration are carbon dioxide and either lactic acid or alcohol. The waste product of anaerobic respiration is lactic acid (in animals). In plants, ethanol is the waste product.


What type of respiration can produce lactic or alcohol?

Anaerobic respiration produces lactic acid in humans and ethanol in plants.


What is used up during lactic acid fermentation?

Simple sugars are converted to lactic acid in anaerobic respiration.


Is lactic acid fermentation in photosynthesis?

No; it is in cellular respiration.


Is a process in which glucose is broken down into lactic acid and energy described as aerobic respiration?

No, lactic acid fermentation is anaerobic.


Where does lactic acid fermentation occur in the process of cellular respiration?

Lactic acid fermentation occurs in the absence of oxygen during the process of cellular respiration, specifically in the cytoplasm of cells.


What are the two substances that may be formed in anaerobic respiration?

The two substances that may be formed in anaerobic respiration are lactic acid and ethanol. Lactic acid is produced in the muscles during strenuous exercise, while ethanol is produced by yeast during fermentation.


What is the word and symbol equation for Glucose Lactic acid Energy?

Glucose is converted to lactic acid in a process called anaerobic respiration. The word equation for this process is "Glucose → Lactic acid + Energy". The symbol equation for this reaction is C6H12O6 → 2C3H6O3 + Energy.


Lactic acid is the byproduct of which metabolic system?
