In normal cells, glucose is broken down aerobically and fed into the citric acid cycle to produce, among other things, lots of A

TP. Cancer cells, however do not. They instead break down glucose into lactic acid. This is very odd due to the fact that cancer cells are constantly growing and have typical glycolytic rates 200 times that of a normal cell. This even occurs under oxygen rich conditions.
Required:
Write a response to the following prompt.
Why might cancer cells produce ATP this way? Please provide background and cite any sources you may have used?

Explanation:

Its was discovered back in the 1920s, by Dr. Ralph DeBerardinis and Dr. Joshua Rabinowitz that cancer cells prefer not to rely on the citric acid cycle like healthy cells do. Instead, they turn most of their pyruvate (SALT) into lactate, which then releases. Because cancer cells consume so much glucose, they end up producing a lot of lactate.

Read the procedure. What is the purpose of the bicarbonate that is dissolved in the water?
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Through this experiment we study the process of photosynthesis.

• In the begining the leaf disks's tissue has oxygen, this allows them to float.

• Then, in the experiment we infiltrate the leaf disks with a solution that has bicarbonate, and as a result their density changes (it increases) and so the leaf disks sink.

• Once the disks are on the bottom and we direct the light to them the process of photosynthesis starts, being the bicarbonate the source of carbon for the process.

• As we know a product of the photosynthesis proces is oxygen, so when it is released into the leaf disks the overall density changes again and the disks rise.

So as we can see, in this experiment the purpose of the bicarbonate is being the source of carbon for the process of photosynthesis that occurs in the leaf disks.
