Study Notes
Metabolic Pathways
- Anabolic pathways involve the synthesis of larger complex compounds from smaller precursors and require energy.
Enzymes in Digestion
- Amylase is the enzyme that cleaves starch and glycogen in the mouth to produce α-dextrins.
Catabolic Pathways
- Catabolic pathways involve oxidative processes and release of energy through the breakdown of complex molecules.
Common Metabolic Pathway
- The citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle or tricarboxylic acid cycle) is the final common pathway in metabolism.
Connecting Pathways
- The pentose phosphate pathway serves as a link between the anabolic and catabolic pathways.
