Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which type of organisms go through lactic acid fermentation?
A
Humans
B
Yeast
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fermentation usually happens in yeast cells and bacteria. Also, the animal muscle cells show lactic acid fermentation in case of inadequate oxygen supply. In yeast, there is incomplete oxidation of glucose that happens in an anaerobic environment.

Detailed explanation-2: -Humans undergo lactic acid fermentation when the body needs a lot of energy in a hurry. When you are sprinting full speed, your cells will only have enough ATP stored in them to last a few seconds. Once the stored ATP is used, your muscles will start producing ATP through lactic acid fermentation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lactic acid fermentation is the type of anaerobic respiration carried out by yogurt bacteria (Lactobacillus and others) and by your own muscle cells when you work them hard and fast.
