B because it’s talking about the tree itself. Saying that it’s plants would divert it to a different plant. The cells of the wood is what makes the tree and is relevant to the question
Answer:
c. Glycolysis evolved in an oxygen-rich environment.
Explanation:
Glycolysis is the pathway that breaks down glucose into two molecules of pyruvate. It is a common pathway that is performed by both aerobic and anaerobic organisms. In aerobic organisms, glycolysis is followed by Kreb's cycle and electron transport chain. In anaerobic organisms, alcohol or lactic acid fermentation regenerate the NAD+ which is required to sustain glycolysis.
Therefore, glycolysis is independent of oxygen availability and can be performed under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. This means that the pathway of glycolysis evolved under anaerobic conditions.
There is no answer that is right except for C. Natural Selection.
Genetic Recombination doesn't change gene frequency;nor does migration. (Unless it's local)
Mutation could be the answer, but since mutations are too rare to really power Evolution, the only logical answer is Natural Selection.
