Why Do Anabolic and Catabolic Pathways Differ? Why is the pathway for the biosynthesis of a biomolecule at least partially different from the pathway for its catabolism? Why is the pathway for the biosynthesis of a biomolecule inherently more complex than the pathway for its degradation?

why is the pathway for biosynthesis of a biomolecule at least partially different than the pathway for catabolism.
What are the four principal compounds participating in the common catabolic pathway? What are their functions?
UDP-glucuronosyltransferase enzymes bind the organic compound UDP-glucuronic acid (UDP-GA) in order to catalyse the transfer of a glucuronic acid group from UDP-GA to a drug molecule, releasing UDP from the active site as a product. UDP is then regenerated by the activity of another enzyme. What terms could be used to describe UDP-GA?
