Summary Introduction

To determine: The difference between catabolism, metabolism, 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.

Explanation of Solution

The following are the differences between catabolism, metabolism, and anabolism:

CharacteristicsMetabolismCatabolismAnabolism
DefinitionMetabolism is the process that describe the chemical reaction to maintain the living state of the cell.Catabolism is the process of breaking down large molecules into smaller molecules.Anabolism is the process of the formation of larger compounds and molecules from smaller units.
Energy outputIt yields energy and also requires energy.It yields energy.It requires energy.
ExampleThe process of digestion and assimilation is metabolism.The process of breaking down of glycogen into glucose is catabolismThe process of formation of glycogen from glucose is anabolism.

Q8. A researcher wants to study the effectiveness of a pill intended to reduce stomach heartburn in pregnant women. The researcher chooses randomly 400 women to participate in this experiment for 9 months of their pregnancy period. They all need to have the same diet. The researcher designs two groups of 200 participants: One group take the real medication intended to reduce heartburn, while the other group take placebo medication. In this study what are: Independent variable: Dependent variable: Control variable: Experimental group: " Control group: If the participants do not know who is consuming the real pills and who is consuming the sugar pills. This study is It happens that 40% of the participants do not find the treatment helpful and drop out after 6 months. The researcher throws out the data from subjects that drop out. What type of bias is there in this study? If the company who makes the medication funds this research, what type of bias might exist in this research work?
