17
Q

Eukaryotic cells compartmentalize some anabolic and catabolic pathways so that these pathways can be operated ________.

A

independently

18
Q

Different proteins have different amino acid ________.

A

sequences

19
Q

Many enzyme-catalyzed reactions are freely reversible; however, some key steps require separate enzymes for the reverse step in order to provide for independent regulation of anabolic and catabolic pathways

A

True

20
Q

What are the anabolic processes for carbohydrates

A

Gluconeogenesis and the pentose phosphate pathway

21
Q

What are the anabolic processes for lipids

A

1) synthesis of lipids on liver cells from amino acids which are converted to acetyl-CoA
2) from glucose into glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate

both are converted to triglycerides

22
Q

What are the 5 anabolic processes for proteins

A

amino acid synthesis, transcription, translation, post translational modifications, and protein folding

23
Q

What are converted to triglycerides during lipid anabolism

A

glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (from glucose)

acetyl-CoA (from amino acids)

24
Q

What are proteins made from

A

amino acids

25
Q

What are the anabolic processes for nucleic acids

A

chemical reaction of phosphate, pentose sugar, and a nitrogenous base

26
Q

How are catabolic and anabolic reactions integrated by cells

A

Anabolic pathways synthesize molecules and require energy.

Catabolic pathways break down molecules and produce energy

anabolism; catabolism

29
Q

Which statement reflects the correct order in the synthesis of triacylglycerol?
