This episode explores the evolutionary development of energy production in cells – from chemical evolution in the Hadean era to the emergence of the first prokaryotes and the formation of complex bioenergetic mechanisms such as glycolysis and electron transport. It explains how cells were able to generate energy without oxygen, what challenges such as acidification arose, and how these were overcome through evolutionary innovations like proton pumps and redox reactions.
