What Kind of fermentation is carried out by muscle cells:
Correct answer: B. Lactic acid
- A. Alcohol
- B. Lactic acid
- C. Citric acid
- D. Fumaric acid
Explanation
Muscle cells carry out lactic acid fermentation. Lactic acid fermentation is a type of anaerobic respiration, which means that it does not require oxygen. In lactic acid fermentation, glucose is broken down to pyruvic acid, and then pyruvic acid is converted to lactic acid.

About Bioenergetics
Cellular respiration explains how cells release energy from glucose through glycolysis, the link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. It includes ATP production, substrate-level and oxidative phosphorylation, aerobic versus anaerobic respiration, and the roles of mitochondria, oxygen and fermentation in energy transfer.
