The fat in adipose cells is broken down into fatty acids. Which pathway is involved in this process? A catabolic pathway An anabolic pathway Catabolic and anabolic pathways

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Its C

OpenStudy (abhisar):

wait

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Its Catabolic

OpenStudy (carolina4567):

Indeed its A

OpenStudy (carolina4567):

There is only one difference between catabolic and anabolic pathway. In a catabolic pathway, catabolic reactions breakdown molecules. In an anabolic pathways, anabolic reactions build larger molecules from smaller ones.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

What is calvin cycle @carolina4567 ?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

i mean catabolic or anabolic ?

OpenStudy (carolina4567):

The Calvin cycle is a metabolic pathway found in the stroma of the chloroplast in which carbon enters in the form of CO2 and leaves in the form of sugar.

OpenStudy (goodkylekiller):

thank you both of you

OpenStudy (abhisar):

no i know its a metabolic pathway but i wanted to know wthr its catabolic or anabolic ?

OpenStudy (carolina4567):

is the set of metabolic pathways that breaks down molecules into smaller units to release energy.

OpenStudy (carolina4567):

Anabolism is the set of metabolic pathways that construct molecules from smaller units.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

so u mean its catabolic ryt ?

OpenStudy (carolina4567):

Yea

OpenStudy (abhisar):

but actually its both catabolic and anabolic

OpenStudy (goodkylekiller):

no its just catabolic just checked it

OpenStudy (carolina4567):

Yes im pretty sure because catabolic breaks down anabolic constructs it back up

OpenStudy (goodkylekiller):

both have been helpful thank you

OpenStudy (carolina4567):

Np anytime

OpenStudy (abhisar):

There are many products formed in the calvin cycle which are used by other processes for synthesis of some other substances. That's why its considered as both catabolic and anabolic

OpenStudy (goodkylekiller):

closin is that ok with ya guys

OpenStudy (abhisar):

yep its okay for me

OpenStudy (goodkylekiller):

ok

OpenStudy (abhisar):

okay we all were wrong ! Calvin cycle is anabolic
