A process of energy production in cells involving oxygen to break down food molecules and produce ATP.

Muscle Pigment

Substances produced in the body that give color to muscle tissues, such as myoglobin, which is responsible for the red and brown colors of muscles.

Myoglobin

A protein in muscle cells that binds oxygen, providing a reserve supply of oxygen within muscles.
