1
New cards

When does fermentation occur

When O2 is absent

2
New cards

What is the process

Pyruvate receives H+ and creates lactate

3
New cards

How can lactate be converted back to pyruvate

After exercise is done, lactate in muscle is converted back thanks to liver

4
New cards

What is fermentation useful for

Regenerating NAD+ for glycolysis to continue

5
New cards

VO2 max

Max amount of O2 a individual can use

6
New cards

Factors affecting VO2 max

Age, training, sex, genetics

7
New cards

Lactate threshold

The point in a exercise where lactate begins to accumulate in muscle tissue
Can not be maintained for long

8
New cards

Ethanol fermentation

Pyruvate loses a Carbon, making acetaldehyde
Carbon combines with Oxygen making CO2
Acetaldehyde gets an H and forms ethanol
