produced in muscles during rapid exercise when the body can't suppy enough oxygen to the tissues; lactic acid fremintation= pyruvic acid + NADH ~> lactic acid + NAD+
process by which cells release energy in the absence of oxygen
2 True/False Question
Alcohol → in the absence of oxygen, yeast and a few other microrganisms use alcoholic fermintation, forminig ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide as wastes
The Krebs Cycle → pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy-extracting reactions
