Chapter 24, Problem 8RE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The transport process required for metabolic pathways that occurs at specific locations, such as in the cytosol, is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Anabolic pathway is a process that requires energy to synthesize large molecules from simple molecules.

Catabolic pathway is a process that breaks down large molecules into smaller molecules.

Metabolic pathway is a series of chemical reactions inside the body that creates and breaks down the energy that is necessary for life.

Shuttles are the systems of enzymes and transporters that facilitate the transfer of molecules or substrates across the membrane.
