Question
Chapter 12, Problem 1RC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The difference between catabolism,
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.
Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution
The following are the differences between catabolism, metabolism, and anabolism:
Characteristics | Metabolism | Catabolism | Anabolism |
Definition | Metabolism is the process that describe the | 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 output | It yields energy and also requires energy. | It yields energy. | It requires energy. |
Example | The process of digestion and assimilation is metabolism. | The process of breaking down of glycogen into glucose is catabolism | The process of formation of glycogen from glucose is anabolism. |
