Aerobic and anaerobic respiration: How is glucose used and lactic acid produced?
Group Members: Ian Hamada Dita and Jaime Andrés Morales
Anaerobic Respiration
It is when cells break down glucose in the absence of oxygen, resulting in lactic acid.
It happens where mitochondria is not present, such as RBCs in humans. It also happens in muscle cells when there is a lack of oxygen.

Fermentation
This biological procedure can be related to the synthesis of lactic acid. The lactic acid's fermentation occurs in the cytoplasm of a cell. During this chemical operation, some enzymes convert a substance known as pyruvate (obtained through glycolysis) into lactate (lactic acid).
In science, "fermentation" is basically the process in which glucose molecules are converted into an acid, gas or alcohol during the lack of oxygen in the organism.
Lactic Acid
Mechanism released by the body with the purpose to prevent the organism to collapse during a strenuous physical through inhibiting the functioning of muscles for a limited.
Considering that a muscle pump is a result of the accumulation of liquids in a specific muscle and also that lactic acid "draws" water into muscles, lactate may pump some muscles.
Produced when the organism requires energy during a situation in which there is a certain lack of oxygen.
Its production during an intense physical activity provokes a "burning" sensation in active muscles as well as a muscular fatigue.
It is not responsible for DOMS (delayed-onset muscle soreness). Lactic acid's impact on the organism consists solely in the temporary inhibition of muscles.
Aerobic respiration
-
It breaks down glucose and combines the broken down products with oxygen, making water and carbon dioxide.
Fuel, repair, grows, and maintains cells.
