Solution

Lactic acid fermentation in the human body:

  1. Lactic acid fermentation happens in the skeletal muscles.
  2. Pyruvate is converted to lactic acid by lactate dehydrogenase when oxygen is inadequate.
  3. Fatigue is brought on by lactic acid buildup in the muscles.
  4. It is a sort of anaerobic fermentation that takes place in bacterial and animal cells, such as muscle cells.
  5. Red blood cells and muscles are the primary producers of lactic acid.
  6. Carbohydrates are converted to energy when the body's oxygen levels are low.
