just is.
Different enzymes and such leads to different products.

Plants and animal cells have different enzymes, leading to different products. The difference in enzymes is due to the different evolutionary path that they took.

I guess if there was a human that mutated and converted pyruvate into CO2 or something t hey would be far superior to the rest of us and the whole evolutionary line may derive from them

Heh, VCE Biology largely isn't very complicated. There's only a few key concepts and it just comes down to applying them in various contexts to get the marks. Very few textbook questions and no exam questions will require further knowledge than what's taught at school, despite how broad Biology can be. So yeh, don't think it's going to be some really specific answer; just go back to the basics and think about it.
