Glycolysis w/fermentation pathways yields 2 net ATPGlycolysis w/aerobic pathways yields 38 ATPTherefore,
|
|
Glycolysis with aerobic pathways is 19 times more efficient at energy production
|
|
|
Glycolysis with fermentation is more efficient
|
|
|
Glycolysis with fermentation is 19 times more efficient than aerobic respiration
|
|
|
Glycolysis with fermentation is useless
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Anaerobic glycolysis serves as a means of energy production in cells that cannot produce adequate energy through oxidative phosphorylation. In poorly oxygenated tissue, glycolysis produces 2 ATP by shunting pyruvate away from mitochondria and through the lactate dehydrogenase reaction.
Detailed explanation-2: -The ATP yield of glycolysis is not problematic: the net yield is two ATPs per glucose converted to pyruvate.
