Glycolysis (Part 2)

Glyolysis is a way that organisms can get free energy from glucose without needing oxygen. Animals like you and me can do glycolysis, but we get more free energy from oxidizing glucose. Other organisms are anaerobic: they don’t need oxygen. And some, like yeast, survive mainly by doing glycolysis!

If you put yeast cells in water containing a constant low concentration of glucose, they convert it into alcohol at a constant rate. But if you increase the concentration of glucose something funny...
