Question

Anabolic and catabolic pathways are opposing but complementary in which ways?

Multiple answers: You can select more than one option

A catabolic pathways degrade energy molecules and anabolic pathways build new molecules.

B catabolic pathways produce energy carriers (ATP and NADPH) and anabolic pathways consume them.

C catabolic pathways are endergonic (?G0>0) and anabolic exergonic (?G0<0).

D food molecules feed anabolism while macromolecules are synthesized by catabolism

Explanation / Answer

C. catabolic pathways are endergonic (G0>0) and anabolic exergonic (G0<0). This is because anabolic metabolic pathway requires a net input of energy. On the other hand, catabolic pathways can consist of both exergonic and endergonic reactions, but the net input of energy will always be less than the net output.
