When one glucose molecule is converted into lactic acid in anaerobic metabolism, three ATP molecules are generated. When a glucose molecule is converted into carbon dioxide and water via aerobic metabolism, it produces 39 molecules of ATP.However, glycolysis requires powerful enzymes that compensate for the lower energy efficiency of anaerobic metabolism. What limits the anaerobic process is the byproduct, or lactic acid.hen a glucose molecule is converted into carbon dioxide and water via aerobic metabolism, it produces 39 molecules of ATP. However, glycolysis requires powerful enzymes that compensate for the lower energy efficiency of anaerobic metabolism.
Corneal topography, also known as photokeratoscopy or videokeratography, is a non-invasive medical imaging technique for mapping the surface curvature of the cornea, the outer structure of the eye.ince the cornea is normally responsible for some 70% of the eye's refractive power, its topography is of critical importance in determining the quality of vision and corneal health.
Corneal Thickness. This article was prepared by Dr Phillip House, Ophthalmologist, Perth. The cornea is the clear layer that covers the iris and the pupil. It is very important in helping to begin the process of focusing the light towards the back of the eye.he importance of corneal thickness then is most evident in people with very thin corneas or thick ones. If the cornea is very thin this does tend to mean a greater likelihood of damage occurring in the optic nerve and may suggest that lower intraocular pressures are required.
