In which of the following component of the body, lactic acid fermentation takes place?
Correct answer: D. Muscles
- A. Brain
- B. Heart
- C. Liver
- D. Muscles
Explanation
Lactic acid fermentation occurs in muscle cells when oxygen supply is insufficient, allowing glycolysis to continue by regenerating NAD+. The likely alternative is the heart, because it also uses respiration, but cardiac muscle normally depends mainly on aerobic respiration and does not commonly accumulate lactic acid.
