Pyruvic acid that is produced from glycolysis can be converted
to lactic acid = lactic acid fermentation
-
Produces the “burn” during anaerobic
exercise

Lactic acid fermentation occurs in the following
reaction:
-
Occur in bacteria and us when the body is deprived of
oxygen.
Pyruvic acid + NADH ? lactic acid + NAD+
It's Breathtaking
