Why do biologists believe glycolysis evolved before the krebs cycle and the electron transport chain?

Biology

Answer:

Glycolysis evolved before Kreb's cycle and Electron Transport chain. This view is supported by following facts:

  • Glucose cannot enter the mitochondria and it needs to be broken  down into pyruvate in the cytosol by the process of glycolysis.
  • Pyruvate then forms acetyl CoA that enters the mitochondria where it undergoes Kreb's cycle.
  • The Electron transport Chain occurs by passing of electron and finally donating it to the electron acceptor oxygen. The molecules of NADH  produced in the preparatory phase of glycolysis provides the electron for electron transport chain.
  • Thus Glycolysis must have evolved before Kreb's Cycle and Electron Transport Chain otherwise the raw materials for both the processes would not have been available.

The cells of plants and animals are similar, except for a few different structures. Which structures are only found in plant cel
larisa [96]
Large central vacuoles, chloroplasts, and cell walls are only found in plant cells.

Large central vacuoles store nutrients and waste products, but they also maintain the plants' structures.

Cell walls also maintain structure and rigidity.

Chloroplasts are used in the process of photosynthesis, which only occurs in plants.

If you wanted to know if a particular mountain was formed by movement along a fault, what would you look for
EleoNora [17]
If the mountain was in the Front Ranges of the Rockies, I would look for a thrust fault underlying the mountain since thrusting is a low angle fault which juxtaposes older rocks on top of younger and thickens up the stratigraphic sequence. Also, mountains can form from normal faults whereby the hangingwall of the fault  or the side of the fault which is towards the inclination of the fault drops down relative to the footwall (the side under the fault) so I would also look for a normal fault bounding a cliff face of the mountain.,
