Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Where does lactic acid fermentation occur?
A
muscle cells
B
skin cells
C
nerve cells
D
ATP molecules
Explanation: 

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: -As with glycolysis, fermentation takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -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-5: -Human muscle cells also use fermentation. This occurs when muscle cells cannot get oxygen fast enough to meet their energy needs through aerobic respiration. There are two types of fermentation: lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation.
