What can lactic acid do to the body?
causes cramping
What substance causes muscle fatigue?
Lactic acid that builds up in the muscle cells
What substance causes muscle ache during strenuous exercise?
Lactic acid makes your muscles sore. Its the product of glycolisis, which your body uses to create energy in the absence of oxygen.
What chemical cause pain and fatigue when anerobic respiration occurs?
Lactic Acid. After the body has used its store of oxygen, pyruvic acid turns to lactic acid (fermentation) which causes muscle ache after running for too long.
What does a build up a lactic acid cause?
It causes more energy in your body when your lungs run out of oxygen(air).
What does a build up of a lactic acid cause?
It causes more energy in your body when your lungs run out of oxygen(air).
What builds up in muscles after a few seconds of intense activity?
Lactic acid is produced by muscles during intense activity. The human body has a way of removing the lactic acid. When the production of lactic acid overcomes the body's ability to remove it, a side stitch commonly occurs.Regular exercise can improve the body's ability to cope with lactic acid buildup.
Why is build up of lactic acid a problem for athletes?
It's because lactic acid is a mild toxin. Reduced oxygen in the bloodstream causes lactic acid to build up in the body's tissues. This causes muscle cramps which forces you to rest, to give your body time to recover.
Where in our human body is lactic acid produced?
As Lactic acid is formed from glucose, it is produced in the stomach of the digestive system
Why do sports such as swimming and running use the lactic acid system?
Lactic acid is produced when muscles in the body move at high rates and over long periods of time. So, even with swimming, you move your arms and legs a lot to gain speed, and this causes the acid to form. In reality, this acid is another type of acid, however it combines with oxygen to form Lactic Acid.
Where does body get lactic acid from?
Lactic acid is a form of milk acid. It is formed during the break down of glucose in all living organisms.
How can glucose affect the pH of the body fluids?
During anaerobic respiration, you get lactic acid in your body. Lactic acid being acid it decreases the pH of your body. After biological oxidation of glucose you get carbon bi oxide. This after dissolution gives you acid in your body.
