Document Summary

Chemical reaction that take place in the human body, the rearrangement, breaking down of cell is called metabolism. For example, nitrogen can be used in metabolism to synthesize protein and function other structures in the body and finally transferred out of the body through urine. Energy metabolism is the process by which energy is used to take in, synthesize, and function in the body and ultimately dissipate. Metabolic reaction is divided into two categories: Catabolic reaction is the process by which complex large chemical compound is broken down into simpler chemical building blocks and energy is released. Anabolic reaction uses energy to synthesize chemical building blocks to build large complex chemical compound. Catabolism is destructive and anabolism is constructive.

Thus this organism makes atp by anaerobic mechanism, without oxygen. This is employed by the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase.
