Chapter 26, Problem 2P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The number of sequences that are present in the common catabolic pathway is to be stated.

Concept Introduction: Anabolism and catabolism are the two pathways of metabolism. In anabolism pathway, large molecules are formed by the combination of small molecules. Anabolism is totally opposite to catabolism. On the other hand, the catabolism pathways involve the breakdown of large molecules into smaller molecules.
