Lactic acid

reaction between peroxomonosulphate with Lactic acid was studied in the presence of Mn(II) at alkaline pH. The reaction followed first order with respect to peroxomonosulphate. The rate of the reaction was studied under pseudo first order condition and found to increases with the [Mn(II)] and lactic acid. Thermodynamic parameters were calculated and reported. Based on the results a rate equation, kinetic scheme and a most probable mechanism has been predicted. Keywords: Alpha hydroxy acid, Lactic acid, Peroxomonosulphate, Manganese (II). I.INTRODUCTION Peroxomonosulphate (PMS) is a versatile oxidant (Lavanya et.al,2015) and is widely used in environmental applications (Edwards et.al., 1989) such as the decontamination (Johnson…

The activities alcohol fermentation and lactic acid fermentation allowed each group to gain a visual understanding of the way fermentation works. In the unrestricted alcohol fermentation part of the activity, each group had their own glass fermentation chamber to pour a solution in. In my group’s fermentation chamber we used starch solution alone. In the alcohol fermentation groups had a total of eight combinations to put into test tubes. In the lactic acid fermentation groups were able to make…

that include, agility, anaerobic capacity and muscular power. The dominant energy system that squash players use is the Lactic Acid System. The fitness component Agility is the ability of the body to remain balanced whilst changing direction. It is vital for squash players to be agile. Agility is used in squash when the player changes direction constantly to get close enough to the ball to be able to hit it. The opposition will always hit the ball where the other player is not,…

During exercise, our body produces lactic acid as a bi-product in the production of ATP. Referring to the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), eventually, with persistent exercise, our body's metabolism exceeds the oxygen supply and begins to use alternative biochemical processes that do not require oxygen. These processes generate lactic acid, which enters the blood stream. The link between lactic acid and pH is that lactic acid can acidify ones bloodstream, leading to acidosis and…

respiration produces an oxygen debt that is the amount of oxygen needed to oxidise lactic acid to carbon dioxide and water” (http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/science/add_aqa/respiration/respirationrev4.shtml). “Anaerobic respiration cannot go on for more than a few seconds as the lactic acid builds up in the muscles and is said to cause a cramp or at least fatigue and some soreness. Muscles become tired during…

The lactate threshold is the exercise intensity at which the blood concentration of lactate and/or lactic acid begins to exponentially increase. The reason for the increased lactate concentration in the blood at high exercise intensities muscle cells release lactate into the blood to be converted back into glucose by the liver (see the Cori Cycle): the high rates of ATP hydrolysis in the muscle release hydrogen ions, as they are co-transported out of the muscle into the blood via the MCT—…

Cellular respiration is the process of “breaking down organic molecules to release their stored energy” usually using glucose, and convert it into ATP through an aerobic process. (Upadhyay 2018) Cellular fermentation is also a part of cellular respiration, but it is an anaerobic process which means it does not require oxygen. There are two discussed types of fermentation: Alcohol Fermentation in which “glycolysis converts glucose in to pyruvate, producing NADH and FADH2, then pyruvate is broken…

mutans lives under acidic conditions and “becomes the dominant bacteria with permanent reduced pH”.6 S. mutans metabolism improves under low pH unlike other species in plaque. With this ability S. mutans can maintain or decrease the pH of the environment which creates a cycle that is favorable for itself and unfavorable for others in the oral mouth.6 Conclusion. We discussed (a) the history of Streptococcus mutans, (b) how S. mutans gets into our mouth, (c) and how S. mutans causes dental…

to increase and stay neutral, which will in turn address the effects of acidosis, such as thiamin deficiency. Another project that was also focused on rumen acidosis was proposed by S. Roy, J. Qui, and V. Reyes, and was title “Reducing Lactic Acidosis in Cow Rumen”. This group is seeking to introduce the gene lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) into E. coli so that lactate can be broken down to energy source. However, because certain level of lactic acid is needed to help with the overall fermentation…

In chapter 14 it talks about the training for energy fitness. Your body continuously needs energy to power your muscle. Energy basically comes from the food we eat in order to become fuel for our body and this is distributed all over the body in order to create work. It also talks about ATP. Adenosine triphosphate is the only fuel a cell can use to contract muscle, build new tissue and transports minerals and waste throughout the body. This chapter also talks about the anaerobic system. I talks…
