Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which type of fermentation occurs in muscles?
A
Alcoholic
B
Lactic acid
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
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: -Lactic acid (i.e., lactate) fermentation occurs in some strains of bacteria and in skeletal muscle and produces lactic acid (i.e., lactate).

Detailed explanation-3: -Lactic acid fermentation of cabbage and other vegetables is a common way of preserving fresh vegetables in the western world, China, and Korea (where kimchi is a staple in the diet).

Detailed explanation-4: -Muscle cells opt for lactic acid fermentation due to less availability of oxygen. In this process they produce lactic acid and less energy per glucose molecule.
