• B. End products of lactic acid fermentation - $Lactic \, acid \, + \, C O_{2}$
• C. RQ of lipids - Less than one
• D. RQ of carbohydrates - One

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Fermentation occurs in the absence of oxygen in which pyruvic acid is broken down further and produces a small amount of ATP. In lactic acid fermentation pyruvate is broken down to lactate(lactic acid) in the absence of oxygen and no carbon dioxide is released. This substance makes muscle burn during intense exercise.
