Lactic acid is one of the by-products of anaerobic cellular respiration, the less efficient process by which cells will make ATP (adenosine triphosphate, the 'energy currency' of cells) in the absence of sufficient oxygen for aerobic respiration.

Lactic acid fermentation is what type of process?

Lactic acid fermentation is an anaerobic process. This means that lactic acid is produced in the absence of oxygen. This usually occur in bacteria cells but can also occur in muscle cells.


What is the acid found in curd?

Lactic acid is the main acid found in curd. It is produced by the bacteria present during the fermentation process of milk to make curd.


Why is lactic acid in milk?

Lactic acid is naturally produced by bacteria in milk through the process of lacto-fermentation. These bacteria convert lactose, the sugar in milk, into lactic acid, which helps to preserve the milk and gives it a slightly tangy taste.

Where in our human body is lactic acid produced?

Lactic acid is produced in muscles during intense exercise when there is insufficient oxygen reaching the tissues. This process is known as anaerobic glycolysis and it helps provide energy to the muscles when oxygen levels are low.


Where does the sour taste come from in foods such as chesee and yogurt?

Lactic acid produced by fermentation.


Which process causes athletes to experience a burning sensation in their muscles?

The burning sensation in muscles during intense exercise is a result of lactic acid accumulation. When the body can't provide enough oxygen to the muscles (anaerobic exercise), lactic acid is produced as a byproduct, causing the burning sensation. This is known as the "burn" or muscle fatigue.


What type of acid is found in milk?

Lactic acid is the main type of acid found in milk. It is produced by bacteria during the fermentation process that turns milk into products like yogurt and cheese.


What does lactic acid have to do with respiration?

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 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.
