Question:

Identical pathways that make up the complicated sequence of reactions of glycolysis, shown in Panel 13–1, are found in most living cells, from bacteria to humans. One could envision, however, countless alternative chemical reaction mechanisms that would allow the oxidation of sugar molecules and that could, in principle, have evolved to take the place of glycolysis. Discuss this fact in the context of evolution.
