AI Thread Summary
Glycolysis is not named after any specific scientist but derives its name from the Greek roots "glyco" meaning sugar and "lysis" meaning breakdown. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding the terminology rather than focusing solely on historical figures. It emphasizes that glycolysis is a fundamental metabolic pathway that has been studied extensively in biochemistry. The original inquiry about who discovered glycolysis is redirected towards a deeper understanding of the process itself. Overall, the conversation underscores the significance of academic inquiry and terminology in biological studies.

Ignoring the question in the original post, but attending the title of the post:

Use some academic skill. Examine the parts of the word, "glycolysis". Use a dictionary to understand the root parts. This was not named for a person.
 

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
