1. Glycolysis and Phylogenetic Testing
This process was important in the first living organisms due to the almost complete absence of oxygen in the ancient atmosphere. ... This has led to new speculations about the prevalence of glycolysis in both archaea and eukaryotes as well as its importance in the evolution of all living organisms. The glycolytic pathway, in almost every living organism, involves complex oxidation-reduction reactions that occur as a result of the presence of ten different enzymes. ... Since it is now known that glycolysis is the only metabolic pathway common to all living organisms, it is extremely useful t...
