Question

Mention how anabolism and catabolism are connected and how are they regulated

Answer 1

hmm do u knw what i anabolism and catabolism?

Answer 2

sure!!

Answer 3

ok then tell me photosynthesis is anabolism or catabolism?

Answer 4

i guess anabolism

Answer 5

as we know photosynthesis is a catabolic process in which carbohydrate is formed now u see repiration(anabolic process) in which carbohydrate get break down and release energy..
u can see the relation btw them now

Answer 6

u understood?

Answer 7

ask ur doubt if u dont get any line ok

Answer 8

yes
its a cyclic relationship!!

Answer 9

but i still don't know how are they regulated?? i have to write a
report about this objective..

Answer 10

i dunno how to write report but i knw who can help u in writing it wait

Answer 11

what happened
??

Answer 12

Anabolism is Building something.
Catabolism is cutting it down.

Answer 13

i know the definition the characteristics and the functions..
i'm asking about something else

Answer 15

Can you provide me an example??

Answer 16

I can tell you how they are related but i need example to explain it.

Answer 17

i already did photosynthesis i catabolic and respiration is anabolic

Answer 18

heena I think your example is opposite in sense. Photosynthesis is anabolic.
Cross check it.

Answer 19

i think adesh is ri8

Answer 20

but i don't know what example i shall give

Answer 21

ok i can give u hint write the reaction of photoynthesis and respirationand then say they are related by showing reversible sign

Answer 22

i'll try thank you

Answer 23

sorry i cant help u much.. :(

Answer 24

Lets talk about Glycogen

When body get extra Glucose then body try to store it.
During starvation, glucose levels are low in body.Then body needs glucose so it catabolize glycogen to glucose.

It is controlled by cell signaling.
During starving, Cell recieve signal from blood because of low glucose level. Then cell will block the enzyme producing glycogen. And activate those enzyme which cleave glycogen.

In reverse condition cell get signal for high glucose concentration in blood. so now cell activate enzyme which make glycogen from glucose.

All this signaling process occurs by GPCR. Its complex. But you can give it a try.

Answer 25

aha thank you soo much i got you thank you guys.. you are the best heena and adesh

Answer 26

People clobbered the "difference between catabolism and anabolism" part of the question (well done, crew), but the regulation aspect was a little less general.

In most major metabolic pathways (glycolysis, the TCA cycle, etc), the same enzymes can catalyze both the 'forward' or 'backward' reactions. That is to say, the can be either catabolic or anabolic. Whether they are catabolic or anabolic depends on which reaction is energetically favourable, which in turn depends on the relative concentrations of product and reactants. These enzymes, which catalyze reactions with small changes in energy, are said to be under "substrate level control."

In addition to that, the metabolic enzymes which catalyze reactions with big energic differences between the products and reactants (i.e., phosphfructokinase in glycolysis / gluconeogenesis) are also under post translational control (i.e., phosphorylation state) which is an integration point for info on cellular energy status and intracellular signalling pathways.
