Detailed explanation-1: -During anaerobic respiration, lactic acid is produced. This happens when the demand for energy is more and supply of oxygen is less, mainly during heavy exercise. The lactic acid thus formed is broken down by the supply of oxygen.
Detailed explanation-2: -Anaerobic respiration takes place in human muscle cells, where the breakdown of glucose produces lactic acid and energy.
Detailed explanation-3: -How cells extract energy from glucose without oxygen. In yeast, the anaerobic reactions make alcohol, while in your muscles, they make lactic acid.
Detailed explanation-4: -Lactic acid, also known as lactate, is a substance the body produces mainly by the breakdown of glucose under anaerobic conditions (i.e., without oxygen), like anaerobic glycolysis.
Detailed explanation-5: -Lactic acid fermentation is a type of anaerobic respiration (or fermentation) that breaks down sugars to produce energy in the form of ATP.
