To investigate:
The generation of lactic acid via fermentation in human cells and to contrast it with microbial fermentation.
Concept introduction:
Fermentation is a process which occurs in the absence of oxygen. Incomplete oxidation of carbohydrates, such as glucose takes place in fermentation. Organic compounds are used as the electron acceptor and a small amount of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is obtained.
