Lactic acid. The ATP yield is the same as alcoholic fermentation but no CO2 is given off and lactic acid retains all three carbons from pyruvic acid. Eventually it's converted back into pyruvic in the liver.

Yep, lactic acid/lactate.

During strenuous muscle activity, the exceptionally high demand for ATP is met by a dramatic increase in the rate of glycolysis. This rapidly depletes the supply of NAD+ hence anaerobic respiration (or lactic acid fermentation) occurs.

yes

It ferments to lactic acid.

Lactic Acid, no?

Lactic acid.

Pyruvate serves as the terminal electron acceptor of the reduced cofactor NADH. By converting pyruvate to lactic acid, NAD+ is regenerated from NADH.
