Lactic Acid -- Lindsy Whitehead


Main Idea: 
- Form of fermentation
- Lactic Acid causes muscle soreness after an intensive work out 
- When the oxygen level is low, carbohydrates break down energy and makes lactic acid 
- Lactic Acid levels get higher during intensive exercising, heart failure, flow of blood, liver, and lack of oxygen throughout the body.
- The liver usually breaks down lactic acid in the body 

Reflection:

While studying lactic acid I learned when lactic acid levels rise (heart failure, liver, blood flow, etc.) I liked learning about this objective because it is used in everyday life. I knew some stuff about lactic acid previously from class.

  1. This will definitely help for the final exam. I don't know if it involve aerobic fermentation or anaerobic fermentation. I learned that the liver breaks down the lactic acid.
