what is the differenve btw biosynthetiv pathway and meta bolic pathway
dear student
Metabolism consists of various metabolic pathways. a metabolic pathway have several interconnected different pathways which either synthesise a new compound from simpler ones (Anabolic Pathway) or they breakdown complex substances to get simpler products (Catabolism).
example : metabolism of carbohydrates include several metabolic pathways such as

example : metabolism of carbohydrates include several metabolic pathways such as
- glycolysis - anabolic pathway
- citric acid cycle - both anabolic and catabolic so known as amphibolic pathway
- gluconeogenesis - formation of glucose (anabolic)
- glycogenolysis - breakdown of glycogen (catabolic pathway)
- glycogenesis - synthesis of glycogen (anabolic pathway)
