Answer:

In the given question, the enzyme phosphofructokinase is absent that inhibits Z.mobilis from going through the process of glycolysis. Z.mobolis uses the Entner-Doudoroff pathway in the non-existence of enzyme phosphofructokinase in place of the EMP pathway to metabolize glucose. In the process, the pyruvate forms from sugars with the help of the Entner-Doudoroff pathway.  

Further, the fermentation of pyruvate takes place, which gets converted to carbon dioxide and ethanol. Yeast possesses the tendency to transform glucose into ethanol, however, not into xylose, that is, the five-carbon sugar, which is generally witnessed in the biomass. On the other hand, Z.mobilis with the assistance of the Entner-Doudoroff pathway undergoes fermentation of sucrose, glucose, and fructose into pyruvate.

If we take the wolf as a species, then we can easily find its place and evolutionary path through this cladogram of chordates. The wolf is a vertebrate, so we start from vertebrae. It is an animal that has jaws and paired appendages. Continuing further up the cladogram we reach the development of lungs, and the wolfs have lungs for breathing. Then we come to the development of four limbs, and the wolfs have four limbs. Next comes the endothermy, meaning that the animal is able to regulate its own body temperature, thus it is warmblooded, and the wolfs are warmblooded animals. As last we come to the mammals, and the wolfs are part of the mammals, so we can classify them in that branch of the chordate cladogram.
