Assertion: glycolysis | /r/HasProperty | inefficient
Facets:
value: in terms of atp production
type: OTHER
Source sentences:
text: Glycolysis is inefficient in terms of ATP production, as it generates only two ATP molecules per molecule of glucose, whereas complete oxidation of one glucose molecule by oxidative phosphorylation can generate up to 36 ATP molecules (Berg et al. 2007).
text: Because they rely on glycolysis which is a less efficient mean of production (only 2 servings of ATP), they need more glucose to satisfy their enormous appetite.
text: Cancer cells more readily use glycolysis, an inefficient metabolic pathway for energy metabolism, even when sufficient oxygen is available.
