19. What two characteristics of cancerous cells result in glucose flux via glycolysis to lactate (anaerobic respiration) vs. glycolysis to the citric acid cycle to ETC (aerobic respiration)?

Step 1
This is a phenomenon where cancer cells preferentially use glycolysis for energy production even in the presence of oxygen, instead of utilizing aerobic respiration through the citric acid cycle and electron transport chain (ETC). Show more…

based on the cytosol and mitochondria 4. Distinguish between anaerobic glycolysis and respiration based final products, lactic acid and carbon dioxide 5. Describe two other substrates for cellular respiration in addition to glucose 6. Describe how acetyl-CoA is a common intermediate of cellular respiration based on the citric acid cycle 7. Describe how the citric acid cyclic and oxidative phosphorylation are connected based on electron carriers (NADH and FADH2) and the electron transport chain 8. Distinguish the electron transport chain from oxidative phosphorylation based on the capacity to both oxidize NADH and form ATP
