Study Notes
- Anaerobic respiration in humans, also known as lactic acid fermentation, occurs in the absence of oxygen, particularly during intense workouts or when oxygen is not readily available to tissues.
- The process involves glycolysis, where glucose is broken down into two pyruvate molecules, generating a small amount of ATP and NADH.
- Pyruvate is then converted into lactic acid in a single step process, involving the oxidation of NADH and the reduction of pyruvate to regenerate NAD+.
- The purpose of converting pyruvate to lactic acid is to regenerate NAD+ to ensure the continuation of glycolysis and ATP production.
- Lactic acid produced during anaerobic respiration is exported from muscle cells to the blood, where it is transported to the liver for conversion back into glucose through gluconeogenesis, a process unique to the liver known as the Cori Cycle.
