Summary Introduction

To determine: The difference between metabolism, catabolism, and anabolism.

Introduction. The metabolic pathways are often branched. This implies that the same substrate is utilized for two or more separate products. It is important that the branched pathway is regulated carefully to produce all the products in the quantities that are needed by the cell. Many enzymes perform the task of both catabolic and anabolic reactions and thus participate in amphibolic pathways (including both catabolism and anabolism) to save the need for additional materials and energy.

*Example 2: Tracing the path of an autosomal dominant trait Trait: Neurofibromatosis Forms of the trait: The dominant form is neurofibromatosis, caused by the production of an abnormal form of the protein neurofibromin. Affected individuals show spots of abnormal skin pigmentation and non-cancerous tumors that can interfere with the nervous system and cause blindness. Some tumors can convert to a cancerous form. i The recessive form is a normal protein - in other words, no neurofibromatosis.moovi A typical pedigree for a family that carries neurofibromatosis is shown below. Note that carriers are not indicated with half-colored shapes in this chart. Use the letter "N" to indicate the dominant neurofibromatosis allele, and the letter "n" for the normal allele.
