Evolution is driven to context

Earth's atmosphere

The electron transport chain generates RNS (PON) as well as ROS
google s/t{mitochondria,ROS,reactive nitrogen}
~eg~5.Mitochondria produce reactive nitrogen species via an arginine-independent pathway
The electron transport chain alongside protomotive force -
- are pathways which generate sufficient voltage
difference -Originally Posted by Leskey
to permit the entire sequence of evolution from the unknowable energetic feed within -
- all the way up to and through into the chemical (ATP) bond.
ROS and RNS result -
- as either ?volatile byproducts or ?powerful oxidants whose oxidative 'power' may be realised by anti-oxidant -
vanillin (for instance) -
- and the reason why this
(from below)'humans cannot make Vitamin C'
(otherwise bizarre) observation was necessary for us to get from
'there'
to
'here' -
wikipedia/Ascorbic_acid_synthesis_in_non-primates
~*~Humans, guinea pigs, and some other primates [cannot make ascorbic acid ... ...]
... ... ascorbic acid is commonly known as vitamin C
Ascorbic acid is a sugar acid with antioxidant properties.
Summary
In this current instantiation we will mostly be coming nitrogen-fixing strange lookin' (cf potatoes) (apart from women(cf tomatoes)) bi-legged rolypodal prim apes with an eye for the ladies.
hubba hubba!
