Q. Inhibition of photosynthesis in the presence of o2 in c3 plants is called?

A
Hexose monophosphate shunt
B
Pasteur effect
C
Decker effect
D
Warburg effect
Solution:
  • The Warburg Effect is defined as an increase in the rate of glucose uptake and preferential production of lactate, even in the presence of oxygen. Each of these functions have been hypothesized to be the function of the Warburg Effect.

  • The Warburg effect with aerobic glycolysis efficiently produces ATP synthesis and consequently promotes cell proliferation by reprogramming metabolism to increase glucose uptake and stimulating lactate production. High-proliferating cancer cells use increased fatty acid synthesis to support the rate of cell division.
