1. Which of the following is/are considered to be an anabolic reaction? Select all that apply.
- a. Krebs cycle
- b. polypeptide synthesis
- c. cell assembly
- d. glycolysis

Introduction:
Anabolism is often referred to as biosynthesis. The term biosynthesis explains the formation of the molecules or the cellular structure. Energy is used in the formation of larger molecules from the smaller molecules.
Answer to Problem 1NP
Correct answer:
Polypeptide synthesis and cell assembly undergo anabolic reactions. Therefore, option (b) and (c) are correct.
Option (b) is given as “polypeptide synthesis”.
Option (c) is given as “cell assembly”.
Explanation of Solution
Justify the reasons for the correct statement:
Anabolism is the construction of a large molecule from its smaller unit molecules, polypeptides are the polymers of amino acids. Cell assembly is the group of neurons which is associated with a particular concept. With every new perception, a new nerve cell is generated.
Hence, options(b) and (c) arecorrect.
Justify the reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option (a) is given as “Krebs cycle”.
Krebs cycle is not an anabolic pathway because the intermediates of the cycles are notpolymers; they are obtained from the conversion of the substrate or by the removal of a group or attachment of a group. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option (d) is given as “Glycolysis”.
Glycolysis is a one-way catabolic chain reaction. Intermediates are not polymers of the substrates; they originate due to rearrangements of the functional groups or addition of some other groups. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Hence, options (a) and(d) are incorrect.
Polypeptide synthesis and cell assembly are the examples of anabolic reactions because the formation of these molecules and cells involve the input of monomers. Krebs cycle and glycolysis are the examples of catabolic reactions.

- Alleles at the P locus control seed color. Plants which are pp have white seeds, white flowers and no pigment in vegetative parts. Plants which are P_ have black seeds, purple flowers and may have varying degrees of pigment on stems and leaves. Seed color can be assessed, visually, based on if the seed is white or not white A gene for mold resistance has been reported and we want to determine its inheritance and whether it is linked to P. For the purposes of this exercise, we will assume that resistance is controlled by a single locus M, and M_ plants are resistant and mm plants are susceptible. Resistance can be measured, under greenhouse conditions, 2 weeks after planting, by injecting each seedling with a spore suspension. After two weeks, the seedlings can be rated as resistant or susceptible, based on whether or not tissue is actively sporulating. For this exercise we will use seed and data from the F10 generation of a recombinant inbred population produced using single seed…arrow_forwardcan you help?
