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: -Fermentation reactions occur in the cytoplasm of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -In muscle cells, fermentation occurs through the lactic acid pathway. During this process, glucose is phosphorylated, broken down and oxidised to make two molecules of pyruvate. The produced pyruvate is then reduced by NADH to make lactic acid. Only two ATP molecules are produced using this pathway.
