Explain what factors determine whether an oncologist treats cancer with chemotherapy, radiation or a combination of the two.

1 answer:

3 0

Treatment of cancer by either chemotherapy or radiation depends on the type of cancer, the stage of cancer when the patient is diagnosed, and the patient’s overall health. This is because either option may make more sense, or may be more effective, than the other. Chemotherapy is a systemic remedy and therefore used to treat cancers that have metastasized. Radiation, on the other hand, is localized and used to treat cancer at early stages.

During cellular respiration the largest amount of ATP is generated in

Degger [83]

The electron transport chain of the cellular respiration process produces maximum ATP.

There are three parts of cellular respiration:

Glycolysis, which produces 2 ATP.
Krebs cycle, which does not produce any ATP. It produces only the raw materials for ATP production.
Oxidative phosphorylation, which involves the electron transport chain that produces maximum ATP. It takes one NADH molecule via Channel 1 to produce 2.5 ATP and one FADH2 molecule via channel 2 to produce 1.5 ATP, for a total of 34 ATP.
