For the leaves to be presearved as fossil, they have to undergo a natural process of carbonization. This involves a slow chemical reaction with water over time that allows oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen to escape the leaves’ structure as gases leaving behind a carbon skeleton/film.

To preserve the leaves that are put in a forest floor the leaves have to be dehydrated and put in 10% formalin.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The tissues or any organelles that are got form any organism contains a lot of hydration in them; it is the water content that makes them vulnerable to contamination.

In order for the leaves to remain like fossils, they must be naturally carbonated. This involves a slow chemical reaction with water, allowing oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen to escape from the leaf structure as the gas leaves the carbon atoms.  

The contamination is caused by the bacteria that grow on these leaves by feeding on the hydration and organic content of the material, when this is fixed using an organic solvent then there is no room for contamination.

Roughly how many more atp’s can be produced via the complete aerobic oxidation of glucose compared to that produced by glycolysi
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Roughly 15 times more ATP can be produced via the complete aerobic oxidation of glucose compared to that produced by glycolysis alone.

<h3>What is Glycolysis?</h3>
  • The metabolic process known as glycolysis turns the sugar glucose (C6H12O6) into pyruvate (CH3COCO2H). The high-energy molecules adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide are created using the free energy released during this process (NADH).
  • A series of ten enzyme-catalyzed processes make up glycolysis. the binding energy of carbs is captured. One metabolic route that doesn't require oxygen is glycolysis (In anaerobic conditions pyruvate is converted to lactic acid).
  • Glycolysis occurs frequently in various species, which suggests that it is an old metabolic route.
  • In fact, the events that makeup glycolysis and its companion process, the pentose phosphate pathway, take place in the oxygen-free environment of the Archean oceans, likewise in the absence of enzymes, and are catalyzed by metal.
