Cells in the first weeks of embryo growth are in a hpyoxic enviroment and they are glyolytic. Glycolysis does not consume oxygen. As oxygen levels in the placenta slowly increase over the weeks, the cells rely more on mitochondrial oxidative metabolism. This is called oxidative phophorylation or OxPhos because the process consumes oxygen and the … Glycolysis And OxPhos Read More » The post Glycolysis And OxPhos appeared first on Fire In A Bottle.
