enzymes) involved, and because of the multiple steps that living organisms
go through to oxidise sugars to CO2 and water. However, there is nothing
preventing such a chemical reaction from proceeding from sugar to carbon
dioxide and water in a single step, given the right equipment.
See, I hadn't even thought of that, but it certainly could be true. I
really hope the protein folding conundrum is resolved while I'm alive...
that way people will eventually be able to design enzymes to do things
like the complete oxidation of sugar.... a super duper ATP synthase or
something
