What is the function of the enzyme Lactate Dehydrogenase in the context of hemoglobin and oxygen transport?
A
To convert lactate to pyruvate
B
To regulate the production of 2,3-Bisphosphoglycerate
✓
C
To catalyze the oxidation of hemoglobin to methemoglobin
D
To facilitate the release of oxygen from hemoglobin to tissues
Explanation
