Intermediates are compounds formed within a metabolic pathway(which is a group of biochemical reactions that occur in a sequence- Anabolic or catabolic)
catabolic pathway of Alcaligenes
Catabolic pathways break down molecules to release energy, while anabolic pathways use that energy to build molecules. By coupling these pathways, cells can efficiently regulate energy balance and maintain homeostasis. This ensures that energy released from catabolic reactions is used effectively for building new molecules in anabolic reactions.
catabolism,where energy is rich complex macromolecules are degrade into small molecules.Energy released during this process is trapped as chemical energy usually as ATP. Ananolism,(biosynthesis) the cell synthesise complex molecules from simpler precursors.this needs energy.
No
The tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle is an example of an amphibolic pathway. It is involved in both catabolic and anabolic processes, converting acetyl-CoA into ATP through oxidative metabolism and producing intermediates that serve as precursors for biosynthesis.
biosynthetic
anabolic pathway is one that the products are more complicated than reactants. they usually need energy(ΔG>0) anabolic pathways are enzymatic and occur in living organism cells and uses energy to construct components of cells such as protein and nucleic acid.
Fermentation is usually used to refer to reactions which produce energy without using oxygen. These reactions involve the breakdown of food molecules eg glucose to release energy. Breakdown reactions are called catabolic reactions, so fermentation is catabolic and not anabolic.Fermentation process does not produce any energy molecules, its purpose is to recover NAD's that were used in the Glycolysis to use them again in the next Glycolysis process. All Fermentation processes are the subset of a Catabolic reactions, although, their product do not include the release of energy as the other catabolic reactions do.Also, Fermentation is an Anaerobic Respiration, which happens only in the cells that can not undergo the Aerobic Respiration.
Fat
Glycogenesis. This is an anabolic pathway
In aerobic organisms the TCA is amphibolic pathway, one that both srves in the catabolic and anabolic processes. besides its role in the oxidative catabolism of carbohydrates, fatty acids and amino acids, the cycle provides precursors for many biosynthetic pathways
