Why would your body go through lactic acid fermentation instead of cellular respiration?
Lactic acid will be the temporary end point of cellular respiration while oxygen supplies are limited, as while enduring exertion. This temporary presense of an excess amount of acid in the muscle tissue is what causes the feeling 'muscle burn'.
80 percent of the lactic acid produced by skeletal muscle is converted to pyruvic acid in the?
liver. This pyruvic acid is then used in the process of gluconeogenesis to form glucose, which can be utilized by the body for energy production during times of need. The remaining lactic acid is either converted to carbon dioxide and water or used as a substrate for energy production in various tissues.
When and why does your body use lactic acid fermination?
Your body uses lactic acid fermentation when oxygen levels are not adequate for proper cellular respiration. Our bodies need oxygen(aerobic) to continue exerting themselves, so when our muscles do not get enough oxygen from our breathing it resorts to fermentation, or the anaerobic (non oxygen using) pathway. This creates lactic acid in our muscles, which is the cause for cramps while being physically active. Hope this helps! :)
What happens in anaerobic respiration?
Anaerobic respiration is the process of producing energy from glucose without the use of oxygen. It results in the production of less ATP compared to aerobic respiration and produces byproducts such as lactic acid or ethanol.
What type of cells use lactic acid?
To reduce nutrient cost for lactic acid production, spent cells, a by-product in fermentation processes, were used as a nutrient source and the treatments of spent cells were investigated in this study.Untreated spent cells did not show significant effect on lactic acid production.After acid-hydrolysis, spent cells gave an increase in productivity to some extent, but the low glucose consumption indicated a nutrient limitation.The nutrient limitation was overcome easily by supplementing a small amount of yeast extract (YE).The combination of 5 g/L YE and the spent cell hydrolyzate (SCH) had high performance in lactic acid production relative to 15 g/L YE.Moreover, two kind of acid-hydrolysis methods, diluted acid based hydrolysis and concentrated acid based hydrolysis, were also compared.The diluted acid based hydrolysis had the advantages over the concentrated acid based one in lactic acid production due to its less nutrient destruction and lower salt inhibition.When diluted acid based SCH was supplemented, YE supplementation could be cut down to 20% with no significant decrease in productivity and yield.
Why does the body need to remove lactic acid?
# How is lactic acid buildup dealt with by the body?
In the absence of oxygen what builds up in the muscles?
Lactic Acid, which is toxic and accounts for the burn felt during exercise. Hence the expression: No Pain No Gain.
What happens to the joints after exercise?
Lactic acid is produced in your body and your legs start to ache, tire and hurt!! Usually you need to oxygen to calm it, as Lactic acid is also known as oxygen debt
Does latic acid cause muscle fatigue?
Lactic acid is produced when the body performs shot, intense bursts of work. Lactic acid comes from the body's need for quick energy. As such, the body converts glucose (stored sugars) into ATP (Usable energy) rapidly without the use of oxygen. This is Anaerobic activity because there is no use of oxygen. Fatigue develops after an extended use of Anaerobic work. The body uses Lactate (lactic acid) for fast energy and has to work to remove the waste products from your muscles. This is the burn and fatigue you feel.

How many grams of lactic acid are in a 0.5M solution of lactic acid?
To calculate the grams of lactic acid in a 0.5M solution, you need the molar mass of lactic acid, which is approximately 90 g/mol. Then, you can use the formula: mass (g) = molarity (mol/L) x volume (L) x molar mass (g/mol). If you have the volume of the solution, you can plug in the values to find the grams of lactic acid.
What process may cause lactic acid to form?
Lactic acid forms in muscles during anaerobic respiration when the body cannot supply enough oxygen to tissues. This occurs during intense exercise when the muscles need more energy than can be supplied through aerobic metabolism.
80 percent of the lactic acid produced by skeletal muscle is converted to pyruvic acid in the?
liver. This pyruvic acid is then used in the process of gluconeogenesis to form glucose, which can be utilized by the body for energy production during times of need.

What do aerobic respiration and lactic acid fermentation have in common besides the production of ATP?
Both aerobic respiration and lactic acid fermentation involve the breakdown of glucose to produce ATP without the need for oxygen. However, they differ in the final products formed: aerobic respiration produces carbon dioxide and water, while lactic acid fermentation produces lactic acid.
How is exercise oxygen debt repaid?
During the period of resting, the breathing rate continues to be fast for a while. This provide sufficient oxygen to repay back the oxygen debt. In the liver, some of the lactic acid is oxidized to produce energy. This energy is used up to convert the lactic acid back to glucose. Lactic acid is toxic and cannot be stored or kept in our body for too long. When lactic acid is used up, oxygen debt is being paid.
What does your muscle produce when there is little or no oxygen?
During the process of aerobic respiration, a form of energy known as adenosine triphosphate or ATP is made. This ATP usually mixes with oxygen to help the body do its necessary functions. If however, there is not enough oxygen going into your body, the ATP begins to dwindle and go into its reserve. Once these occurs your body begins making a by-product know as lactic acid
