Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The stage at which the forward reaction occurs in the common catabolic pathway is to be stated.
Concept Introduction:
Mitochondria have two membranes, inner and outer membranes. In the mitochondria, various catabolic pathways occurs. The mitochondria is present in most of the eukaryotic organisms. Eukaryotic organisms possess a nucleus which is covered by membranes. The examples of eukaryotic organisms are plants and human beings. On the other hand, prokaryotes do not possess a distinct nucleus.
(b)
Interpretation:
The steps at which reverse reaction occur is to be stated.
Concept Introduction:
