Concept explainers
To explain:
The advantages in terms of ATP production of a healthy respiratory and cardiovascular system on the basis of glycolysis and aerobic
Concept introduction:
Glycolysis involves the splitting of one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvic acid or pyruvate. The process of glycolysis was given and described by Embden, Meyerhof, and Parnas. In this process, the energy produced is in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADH (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). Glycolysis is a part of aerobic respiration along with Krebs cycle. In aerobic respiration, the breakdown of glucose takes place in the presence of air (particularly oxygen).
