In animals, fermentation is referred to as lactic acid fermentation. Its reactants include a sugar molecule, pyruvate and NADH. It produces lactic acid and releases energy.

An acid releases hydrogen ions when it dissociates in water. Common examples of substances that release hydrogen ions include hydrochloric acid (HCl), sulfuric acid (H2SO4), and acetic acid (CH3COOH).
An acid releases a hydrogen ion, H+ into a solution.

An acid is a chemical substance that releases H+ ions into a solution, resulting in a low pH. Examples of common acids include hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4).
Pyruvic acid does not store energy itself, but it is a product of glucose breakdown in glycolysis, which releases energy in the form of ATP. Pyruvic acid can be further metabolized in the mitochondria to produce more ATP through the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation.
A weak acid, such as acetic acid (found in vinegar), releases only a small amount of hydrogen ions in aqueous solution compared to a strong acid like hydrochloric acid. Weak acids partially dissociate in water, resulting in a lower concentration of hydrogen ions.
