Chapter 24: Q25P (page 1125)

Indicate whether an anabolic pathway or a catabolic pathway does the following:

a. produces energy in the form of ATP

b. involves primarily oxidation reactions

Short Answer

Expert verified

  1. Catabolic Pathway

  2. Catabolic Pathway

Step by step solution

01

Catabolic pathway

It is defined as breaking down large molecules into smaller units by oxidation with the release of energy. These smaller units are used in the anabolic pathway. Catabolic pathways are non-reversible reactions to the production of ATP, like glycolysis, the citric acid cycle.

02

Anabolic pathway

It is defined as the pathway that uses the energy produced by the catabolic pathway to form large molecules from the smaller units obtained in catabolic away like proteins from amino acids.

03

Pathway in which ATP formation and oxidation occurred

The catabolic pathway is the pathway in which the formation of energy (ATP) takes place by breaking down molecules, and the breaking of molecules into simpler units is done by partial oxidation.
