it will cause Glycolysis: the sequence of reactions that converts glucose into pyruvate with the concomitant production of a relatively small amount of ATP. Glycolysis can be carried out anerobically (in the absence of oxygen) and is thus an especially important pathway for organisms that can ferment sugars. .
Incomplete ATP synthesis, and incomplete metabolism… results in much less ATP created, and turns the kreb’s cycle topsy turvy.
research the kreb’s cycle a bit.
