Organismal

respiration
Enzymes are proteins that
catalyze chemical reactions in
cells.
Enzymes combine temporarily with specific substrates to facilitate
a reaction and they are released at the end of the reaction, unchanged.

NAD+ 2e-  NADH2

When muscle operates
anaerobically, glycolysis
generates NADH2
NAD is regenerated by
putting the H2 on pyruvic
acid making lactic acid.
When oxygen becomes
available, lactic acid is
converted to pyruvic acid in
the liver. The puruvic acid is
metbolized to CO2 & H20 and
ATP is generated
