Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Alcoholic fermentation explains why your muscles are sore after intense exercise.
A
True
B
False
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Did you ever run a race and notice that your muscles feel tired and sore afterward? This is because your muscle cells used lactic acid fermentation for energy. This causes lactic acid to build up in the muscles. It is the buildup of lactic acid that makes the muscles feel tired and sore.

Detailed explanation-2: -Your muscles are forced to work without enough oxygen. In these situations, your working muscles generate ATP anaerobically (i.e., without oxygen) using a process called fermentation. Fermentation is beneficial in that it can generate ATP quickly for working muscle cells when oxygen is scarce.

Detailed explanation-3: -Abstract. Alcoholic fermentation is a complex biochemical process during which yeasts convert sugars to ethanol, carbon dioxide, and other metabolic byproducts that contribute to the chemical composition and sensorial properties of the fermented foodstuffs.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lactic Acid Buildup Causes Muscle Fatigue and Soreness. Anyone who has pushed themselves through an intense workout will be familiar with “feeling the burn”-that sensation of fatigue and pain that sets in when you subject your muscles to lifting heavy loads repeatedly or sprinting all-out.

Detailed explanation-5: -Lactic acid fermentation is a metabolic process by which some bacteria produces lactic acid from pyruvic acid. Alcoholic fermentation is a biochemical process by which sugar is converted into ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide by some bacteria and yeast.
