Notes from NEET topper

Lactic Acid Fermentation:

  • Lactic acid fermentation is an anaerobic process.

  • It occurs in some bacteria and in muscle cells when oxygen is scarce during intense exercise.

  • Pyruvate, produced during glycolysis, is converted into lactic acid.

  • Lactic acid can accumulate in muscles, leading to muscle fatigue and soreness.

  • It regenerates NAD+ needed for glycolysis to continue.
