Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which type of fermentation occurs in muscle cells during intense exercise?
  • Step 1: Understand that fermentation is a process that cells use to produce energy without oxygen.
  • Step 2: Know that during intense exercise, muscle cells need more energy quickly.
  • Step 3: Realize that when there is not enough oxygen available, muscle cells switch to fermentation.
  • Step 4: Identify that the type of fermentation that happens in muscle cells is called lactic acid fermentation.
  • Step 5: Conclude that lactic acid fermentation produces lactic acid as a byproduct, which can cause muscle fatigue.
