Source sentences:
text: Prevents the tapeworm from making energy (ATP) from glucose (thus it dies).
text: When a tapeworm has little or no access to environmental oxygen (a common situation encountered inside of a host animal intestinal tract), it can create its own energy (ATP) from the catabolism of glucose molecules by making use of particular energy-producing chemical-reaction pathways that do not require the consumption and reaction of oxygen molecules.
text: Alternatively, when that same tapeworm parasite gains access to environmental oxygen (e.g. the animalhost has swallowed lots of air during food consumption, causing the tapeworm in the intestine to be exposedto oxygenated gases), it can then create its own energy (ATP) from the catabolism of glucose molecules by making use of particular energy-producing chemical-reaction pathways that do require the consumption and reaction of oxygen molecules.
text: These anaerobic chemical reaction pathways that the tapeworm predominantly uses to generate energy (ATP) are fairly inefficient and low yielding.
