What cells in the body may undergo lactic acid fermentation during exercise?
A
Muscle cells
B
Fat cells
C
Liver cells
D
Skin cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Lactic acid accumulates in your muscle cells as fermentation proceeds during times of strenuous exercise. During these times, your respiratory and cardiovascular systems cannot transport oxygen to your muscle cells, especially those in your legs, fast enough to maintain aerobic respiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -It is a sort of anaerobic fermentation that takes place in bacterial and animal cells, such as muscle cells. Red blood cells and muscles are the primary producers of lactic acid.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Fermentation occurs in yeast cells, and a form of fermentation takes place in bacteria and in the muscle cells of animals. In yeast cells (the yeast used for baking bread and producing alcoholic beverages), glucose can be metabolized through cellular respiration as in other cells.
