All That For A Drop Of ATP?

All That For A Drop Of ATP?

The biochemistry student's nightmare meets Marvel's biggest villain! This meme perfectly captures the frustration of memorizing the entire glycolysis pathway only to realize it's all about producing a measly few ATP molecules.

Thanos' disappointed face says it all - after all those complex chemical transformations, enzyme actions, and energy calculations, glycolysis only nets 2 ATP molecules (with more coming later in cellular respiration). It's like studying for finals all semester just to earn a participation trophy!

Every biology student who's had to memorize this pathway feels Thanos' pain. Your cells are doing calculus while you're just trying to climb a flight of stairs!
