Explanation:
Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) reduces pyruvate to lactate using NADH, regenerating NAD⁺ for glycolysis under anaerobic conditions. Pyruvate decarboxylase is in alcoholic fermentation, alcohol dehydrogenase converts acetaldehyde to ethanol, pyruvate kinase is in glycolysis.
Explanation:
The soma (cell body) of a neuron contains the nucleus and metabolic machinery. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons and transmit them towards the soma, while the axon carries impulses away from the soma. The myelin sheath speeds up conduction by saltatory conduction (jumping between nodes), not continuous conduction.
