anabolic pathways are endergonic such as in photosynthesis. In that in anabolic situation like photosynthesis more energy is stored in the products than in the reactants. catabolic pathways are exergonic such as cellular respiration. In that cellular respiration is exergonic because less energy is stored in the products than in the reactants.
Metabolism is the set of processes that help maintain life; these processes generally fall into two categories: catabolism and anabolism. Catabolism is the break down of substances for energy, an example of catabolism is the breakdown of glucose into ATP. Anabolism is the formation of substances that are needed within the body, an example of anabolism is the formation of muscle proteins from amino acids.
Both paths are part of the metabolic system.
Anabolism is the phase of the intermediary metabolism that encopasses the biosynthetic and energy-requiring reactions whereby cell components are produced. In other words, the anabolic pathway produces a compound (or compounds) from precursors
Catabolism, on the contrary, is the phase of the intermediary metabolism that encopasses the degradative and energy-yielding reactions whereby nutrients are metabolized. Catabolism implies the breakdown of complex substances and macromolecules into low molecular weight compounds.
anabolic, endergonic, non spontaneous
Hydrolysis decomposes carbohydrates, lipids and proteins. Hydrolosis is not anabolic, it is catabolic. A catabolic reaction is where the bond between monomers is broken by the enzyme and the addition of water.
catabolic
Metabolically,fat synthesis is anabolic,while fat storage is neither anabolic nor catabolic.
no. Anabolic reactions require energy...they are endergonic.
Anabolic, endergonic, non-spontaneous
The breaking apart the link between ATP and phosphate which produces heat is catabolic, exergonic, and spontaneous. The burning of paper is catabolic, exergonic, and 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.
anabolic, endergonic, non spontaneous
Enzymes are major biological molecules that are important for the metabolic processes that sustain life (anabolic= endergonic, nonspontaneous; catabolic= exergonic, spontaneous; anabolic processes+catabolic processes=metabolism). Enzymes' main function in chemical reactions is to catalyze them, or speed them up (i.e. they are catalysts). While most types of enzymes are proteins, there are a few RNA enzymes known as ribozymes. Enzymes almost always end with the suffix -ase.
Hydrolysis decomposes carbohydrates, lipids and proteins. Hydrolosis is not anabolic, it is catabolic. A catabolic reaction is where the bond between monomers is broken by the enzyme and the addition of water.
An exergonic reaction is catabolic. A catabolic reaction is the process of breaking down complex macromolecules into smaller subunits while releasing energy in the process. An exergonic reaction is an energy releasing reaction hence why it is a catabolic reaction.
Catabolic: long cellulose polymers are broken down into carbon dioxide, water, and carbon monoxide gases. Exergonic: can be used to do work Spontaneous: once started the reaction will reach completion by itself, driven by a very positive change in entropy. However the reaction has a high activation energy. Therefore it is thermodynamically favourable but kinetically unfavourable.
