The oxygenase activity of RuBisCO, which initiates the process of photorespiration, largely accounts for this effect.In oncology, the Warburg effect is the observation that most cancer cells predominantly produce energy by a high rate of glycolysis followed by lactic acid fermentation in the cytosol, rather than by a comparatively low rate of glycolysis followed...
