Indeed, rapidly growing tumor cells will metabolize glucose to lactate even in the presence of oxygen, a process called aerobic glycolysis or the Warburg effect, after Otto Warburg, the biochemist who firt noted this characteristic of cancer cells in the 1920s.

In contrast, white adipose tissue (WAT), which constitutes the bulk of adipose tissue, plays no role in thermogenesis but serves as an energy source and an endocrine gland (Chapters 26 and 27).

P680B⁺, a very strong oxidant, extracts electrons from water molecules bound at the water-oxidizing complex (WOC), also called the manganese center.

Their results agreed perfectly with the Watson-Crick model for DNA replication (Figure 4.22).

In contrast, other genes are transcribed much less frequently, about once in 10 minutes; the promoters for these genes are weak promoters.

The winding of DNA around the nucleosome core contributes to the packing of DNA by decreasing its linear extent.

The wrapping of DNA around the histone octamer as a left-handed helix also stores negative supercoils; if the DNA in a nucleosome is straightened out, the DNA will be underwound.
