Lactic acid Fermentation

The energy released is stored in two ATP molecules and several NADH molecules. However, since there is no oxygen available to run the electron transfer chain, the energy of NADH cannot be transferred to ATP. Like any form of fermentation this process is inferior to cellular respirationCellular respiration is, in its broadest definition, the process in which the chemical bonds of energy-rich molecules such as glucose are converted into energy usable for life processes. Oxidation of organic material—in a bonfire, for example—is an exothe in generating energy. Bacteria digest lactosesugar consisting of galactose and glucose. Lactose is the sugar making up around 2-8% of the solids in milk. The name comes from the Latin for milk, plus the -ose ending used to name sugars. Lactose is a disaccharide consisting of two subunits, a galactos in the milkMilk most often means the nutrient fluid produced by the mammary glands of female mammals (including monotremes such as the Australian platypus). It provides the primary source of nutrition for newborns, before they are able to digest more diverse foods. by lactic acid fermentation producing lactic acid which giving milk that sour taste after a person leaves milk out of for a while. Muscle cells in the human body also ferments, only if it can’t get oxygen, producing lactic acids. If the lactic acid builds up muscle cramps will occur.
