Is the Calvin cycle anabolic or catabolic?
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.
Are enzymes used up in the reactions they catalyse?
The main function of enzymes in catabolic and anabolic reactions is to speed up the reactions and are therefore regarded as catalysts. Catabolic refers to break down of molecules while anabolic refers to build up of molecules.
Why is Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is an important intermediate molecule in the cell's metabolic pathways because?
It can be used in catabolic and anabolic pathways.
Catabolic and anabolic pathways are often coupled in the cell because?
the free energy released from one pathway is used to drive the other.
what are the following processes releases energy to be used by a cell?
Chemical reactions that release energy are called exergonic. Cellular processes that release energy are called catabolic, or catabolism. {I remember this by thinking 'What does a cat do with its claws to your furniture - it breaks things down.' Also, anabolic steroids are for 'building up'.} The main energy producing catabolic reactions occur using Respiration that releases usable biochemical energy in the form of Atp.
Is all of the energy released during catabolic reactions used for anabolic reaction?
Yes.

Is all plant energy converted to biofuel?
No, some energy is used for respiration, anabolic and catabolic metabolism.
What is the process by which chemical reactions occur that break down food molecules into energy to be used by the organism?
Breaking down of macromolecules into small particles is called a catabolic process. In any catabolic process there is a release of energy. Anabolic reaction combines small particles into a macro molecule and energy is conserved in such a process.
Why is Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is an important intermediate molecule in the cell's metabolic pathways because?
It can be used in catabolic and anabolic pathways.
Catabolic and anabolic pathways are often coupled in the cell because?
the free energy released from one pathway is used to drive the other.
Do plants carry out excretion?
because the catabolic process is low. in plants catabolic product are used in anabolic process. and excess amount of water s excerated by tranpiration(in day time) and by guttation (in night time)

Account for several avenues of energy and molecular use for the food you eat?
Food may be used for calories and specific chemicals such as vitamins and minerals. Latent energy will be used to construct ATP which will power anabolic and catabolic reactions as well as energize active transport mechanisms to maintain homeostasis. Calcium and phosphate are needed for bone.
Is gluconeogenesis anabolic or catabolic?
At a basic level, Gluconeogensis is an anabolic process. It involves the creation of a 6 carbon glucose molecule from smaller precursors.The name gluco (glucose) neo (new) genesis (creation) is quite descriptive of what the pathway does.Ana-bolic is greek for "upward-throw"The opposite of gluconeogenesis is glycolysis (glyco for glucose, lysis for breakdown) which is as its name suggests the break down of glucose to form pyruvate and eventually acetyl CoA.Glycolysis in contrast is considered cata-bolic (greek for downwardthrow)An easy way I remember the difference is:catabolism = cutting things upanabolism = annealing things togethernote - When one thinks about where the precursors come from we may consider gluconeogenesis to have a catabolic andanabolic portion. The catabolic process involves the sum of reactions used to generate the precursor molecules (e.g. - breakdown of proteins into amino acids, breakdown of fats into monoacylglycerides and eventually dihydroxyacetone phosphate)
Burning paper identify as either anabolic or catabolic endergonic or exergonic and spontaneous or non spontaneous?
Catabolic: cellulose is broken down to carbon dioxide, water, and carbon monoxide. Exergonic: energy is released which can be used for work. Spontaneous: once the reaction is started, it will go to completion.
