Understanding the Warburg Effect in Cancer Cells

Who discovered the Warburg effect, a metabolic phenomenon in cancer cells?

• Albert Einstein

• Otto Warburg

• Isaac Newton

• Marie Curie

In the absence of oxygen, what is the end product of glycolysis in normal cells?

• Lactate

• Pyruvate

• Water

• Carbon Dioxide

How many ATP molecules are produced from one mole of glucose in normal cells under aerobic conditions?

• 36 ATP

• 12 ATP

• 4 ATP

• 2 ATP

What is the primary metabolic pathway used by cancer cells even in the presence of oxygen?

• Photosynthesis

• Aerobic glycolysis

• Anaerobic respiration

• Oxidative phosphorylation

Why is the metabolic shift in cancer cells considered energy inefficient?

• It produces more ATP

• It uses less glucose

• It generates more oxygen

• It results in only 2 ATP per glucose molecule
