Q

NADH is a high energy molecule. why can too much be a bad thing?

excess NADH can deplete NAD+ required by glycolysis, can promote the formation of free radicals, and can damage DNA + proteins

29
Q

glycolysis produces ATP by which of the following?

A

substrate-level phosphorylation

30
Q

german physiologist otto warburg discovered that cancer cells preferentially use:
