(a)
Interpretation:
The type of pathway underwent by the energy production in the form of ATP has to be identified
Concept Introduction:
- 1. Catabolism
- 2. Anabolism
Catabolism: The catabolic pathway involves oxidation reactions and produces energy and it converts complex molecules into simple ones
Anabolism: The anabolic pathway involves a series of sequential reactions which converts simple molecules into complex molecules.
Glycolysis: It is pathway which describes conversion of one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate. The series involves 10 reactions.
(a)

Answer to Problem 25P
The energy production in the form of ATP undergoes a catabolic pathway.
Explanation of Solution
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is an chemical compound which is involved in many purposes. The process by which ATP is released is called Glycolysis.
The process by which glucose molecule gets converted to two molecules of pyruvate which includes a series of 10 reactions is known as glycolysis.
In the process of glycolysis, each molecule of glucose which is metabolized to pyruvate forms two molecules of ATP. Catabolic pathway is a metabolic pathway which converts complex molecules into simple molecules and produces energy. Thus the energy production in the form of ATP undergoes a catabolic pathway. It involves the conversion of complex molecules
(b)
Interpretation:
The type of pathway underwent by the primary oxidation reaction has to be identified
Concept Introduction:
Metabolism: The process by which living organisms synthesize energy they required is known as metabolism. Mainly there are two pathways
- 1. Catabolism
- 2. Anabolism
Catabolism: The catabolic pathway involves oxidation reactions and produces energy and it converts complex molecules into simple ones
Anabolism: The anabolic pathway involves a series of sequential reactions which converts simple molecules into complex molecules.
Glycolysis: It is pathway which describes conversion of one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate. The series involves 10 reactions.

The process by which glucose molecule gets converted to two molecules of pyruvate which includes a series of 10 reactions is known as glycolysis.
Catabolic pathway is a metabolic pathway which converts complex molecules into simple molecules and produces energy. The oxidation process usually involves a catabolic pathway.
Catabolism is a process in which the smaller molecules are formed which can be oxidized to release energy.
Thus primary oxidations reactions are example for catabolic pathway.
