Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which type of fermentation can occur in your muscle cells when your body lacks oxygen?
A
alcoholic fermentation
B
lactic acid fermentation
C
regular fermentation
D
cellular respiration
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: -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.

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 Fermentation However, after prolonged exercise, you may “run out of breath; ” you may not be able to take in as much oxygen. In the absence of oxygen, the process of lactic acid fermentation replaces cellular respiration in your body’s muscle cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Lactic acid fermentation is common in muscle cells that have run out of oxygen.
