Lactate Dehydrogenase
- In the absence of oxygen, ATP can only be generated via glycolysis
- It also produces NADH
- Lactate dehydrogenase uses NADH, therefore regenerating NAD+

What is the purpose of anareobic respiration?
a. To produce ATP in the abscence of oxygen through only glycolysis
b. To make NADH through completion of the citric acid cycle
c. To regenerate NAD+ through fermentation
d. To make lactate for proper muscle function
a. In the absence of oxygen, glycolysis is the only form of ATP generation. Anaerobic respiration is the process of creating ATP in the absence of oxygen, there for glycolysis is the only option.
