Summary Introduction

To review:

Whether a starving cell, which has become deprived of all the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) would be able to survive if placed in the glucose solution.

Introduction:

Every cell perform glycolysis to generate ATP, which itself requires ATP first. The cells perform two types of cellular respiration to generate ATP that are the aerobic respiration and the anaerobic respiration. When the oxygen is present in ample amount, the aerobic respiration is preferred and when the oxygen is present in the less quantity then anaerobic respiration is performed. If all the ATP is exhausted inside the cells, then it results in the cell death.
