Detailed explanation-1: -Lactic acid fermentation happens in the skeletal muscles. Pyruvate is converted to lactic acid by lactate dehydrogenase when oxygen is inadequate. Fatigue is brought on by lactic acid buildup in the muscles. It is a sort of anaerobic fermentation that takes place in bacterial and animal cells, such as muscle cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lactic acid fermentation is a type of anaerobic respiration (or fermentation) that breaks down sugars to produce energy in the form of ATP. It is called anaerobic because it occurs in the absence of oxygen.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lactic acid fermentation is the process by which our muscle cells deal with pyruvate during anaerobic respiration. This happens when we exercise too fast or hard because the oxygen supply can’t keep up with the need. That’s when our muscles switch from aerobic respiration to lactic acid fermentation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Muscle cells also carry out lactic acid fermentation, though only when they have too little oxygen for aerobic respiration to continue-for instance, when you’ve been exercising very hard.

Detailed explanation-5: -Lactic acid fermentation is catabolic. Catabolism is the branch of metabolism that breaks down large complex organic molecules into simpler products.
