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.
