Question 0

Define Catabolism or catabolic pathways

Answer 0

Catabolic pathways are reactions that result in the breakdown of complex molecules into simpler ones with the release of energy.

Question 1

Define Anabolism or Anabolic pathways

Answer 1

Consume energy to build complex molecules from simpler ones.

Question 2

Define Amphibolic pathways

Answer 2

Function as catabolic or anabolic pathways depending on the needs of the cell
