Step-by-step solution
Lactic acid fermentation is a type of anaerobic metabolic process. This usually takes place in some bacteria and even in muscle cells of animals and human beings. In lactic acid fermentation transfers its electrons directly to pyruvate, generating lactate as a by-product. Less than seven percent of the energy in glucose is released in this process.
