Question Description

I need an explanation for this Biology question to help me study.

Instructions

Scientists estimate that Earth houses 8.7 million species. All of them use the same cellular fuel: ATP. ATP can be produced via two mechanisms.

Name and explain how these two mechanisms differ. Can an organism use both? Support your answer with examples.

Glycolysis is believed to be the first energy production mechanism on Earth. Provide at least two arguments supporting that theory.
