What else can I help you with?
When there is no oxygen for your cells the cells use this to get energy?
lactic acid fermentation. (produces lactate and is only about 100th as efficient as cellular respiration)
Does the buildup of lactic acid in muscle cells result in alcoholic fermentation?
No, lactate and ethanol are two possible products of glycolysis in anaerobic conditions. Some organisms produce lactate, some produce ethanol. You, for example, produce lactate. Yeast produces ethanol.
How lactate fermentation is similar to and different from ethanol fermentation?
Lactate fermentation and ethanol fermentation are both anaerobic processes that enable organisms to generate energy without oxygen by converting glucose into simpler compounds. They are similar in that both processes regenerate NAD+, allowing glycolysis to continue. However, they differ in their end products: lactate fermentation produces lactate, primarily in muscle cells and some microorganisms, while ethanol fermentation produces ethanol and carbon dioxide, primarily in yeast. Additionally, the pathways and enzymes involved in each fermentation type vary, reflecting the different organisms and conditions under which they occur.
Which organisms carry out lactate fermination?
some bacteria,Animal cells also carry out lactic acid fermentation when oxygen supply is insufficient
What is the significance of the pyruvate to lactate during fermentation?
During fermentation, pyruvate is converted to lactate as a way to regenerate NAD+ from NADH, which is necessary to sustain glycolysis. This conversion allows glycolysis to continue in the absence of oxygen, providing cells with a way to generate ATP for energy production.

What are the products of lactate fermentation and alcoholic fermentation?
Both alcohol and lactate fermentation enable cells to produce ATP without using oxygen; they are the anaerobic (lacking in oxygen) alternative to cellular respiration. This is because they are extensions of glycolysis that can generate ATP solely by substrate-level phosphorylation, specifically by regenerating NAD+ by transferring electrons from NADH to pyruvate or pyruvate derivatives. NAD+ can then be reused in glycolysis to oxidize sugar. Remember that glycolysis uses two net molecules of ATP by substrate-level phosphorylation.Lactate fermentation, also known as lactic acid fermentation, occurs when NADH reduces pyruvate directly to form lactate as an end product, hence the name "lactate fermentation." More specifically, if one glucose molecule goes through glycolysis, 2 net ATP and 2 pyruvate molecules are produced and 2 NAD+ molecules are consumed. 2 NADH molecules and 2 H+ come and reduce the 2 pyruvate molecules, forming 2 lactate molecules and 2 NAD+. The 2 NAD+ molecules are then reused in glycolysis, enabling the cell to produce ATP even in the absence of oxygen. Lactate fermentation is used by some fungi and bacteria as well as in the dairy industry to produce yogurt in cheese. Another fun fact about lactate fermentation is that human muscle cells use lactate fermentation to make ATP when oxygen is scarce, such as during strenuous exercise. The resulting accumulation of lactate is partly what causes the muscle fatigue and pain that can result from exercise. But don't worry, the blood carries away the lactate to the liver where the lactate is converted back to pyruvate.Alcohol fermentation occurs when pyruvate is first converted to acetaldehyde, a 2-carbon compound, through the release of carbon dioxide from the pyruvate. Then, NADH reduces the acetaldehyde to ethanol. A more detailed look shows us that just like lactate fermentation, glycolysis produces 2 ATP and 2 pyruvate from one glucose molecule. However, unlike lactate fermentation, each pyruvate molecule releases a carbon dioxide, resulting in 2 carbon dioxide molecules and 2 acetaldehyde molecules (acetaldehyde = pyruvate - carbon dioxide). Then, similar to lactate fermentation 2 NADH and 2 H+ reduce the 2 acetaldehyde molecules, forming 2 ethanol molecules and 2 NAD+ and regenerating the supply of NAD+ needed to continue glycolysis. Alcohol fermentation is often used in bacteria in anaerobic conditions as well as in yeast. Interestingly, the carbon dioxide that is released in alcohol fermentation generated by a baker's yeast is what allows the bread to rise!

Fermentation in muscle cells produces lactic acid. This happens when you have overworked your muscles, which can happen during exercise.

What compound is the end-product of anaerobic respiration in exercising muscle citrate or lactate?
Lactate is the end-product of anaerobic respiration in exercising muscle. It is produced when the demand for energy exceeds the supply of oxygen to the muscle cells, leading to the conversion of pyruvate to lactate.
What is one product in fermentation in yeast cells?
carbon dioxide and ethanol
What is the waste product of fermentation in your muscle cells?
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.
Why are lactate and ethanol formed under anaerobic conditions?
Short Answer: To regenerate NAD+ for the continued function of glycolysis.Detailed Answer: As NADH is formed in glycolysis (2 NADH per glucose), NAD+ must be regenerated to allow continued glycolytic flux (and consequent production of ATP). In the presence of adequate oxygen (i.e. under aerobic conditions), this regeneration takes place predominantly in the mitochondria. Under anaerobic conditions, however, the only way to regenerate NAD+ is through lactate fermentation (e.g. mammals) or ethanol fermentation (e.g. yeast).
