6.

The resulting chemical reaction within the metabolic Molecular pathway is highly thermodynamically favorable and, as a result, irreversible in the cell.

7.

The coupled reaction of the catabolic Molecular pathway affects the thermodynamics of the reaction by lowering the overall activation energy of an anabolic Molecular pathway and allowing the reaction to take place.

8.

An anabolic Molecular pathway is a biosynthetic Molecular pathway, meaning that it combines smaller molecules to form larger and more complex ones.

9.

An amphibolic Molecular pathway is one that can be either catabolic or anabolic based on the availability of or the need for energy.

10.

Glyoxylate shunt Molecular pathway is an alternative to the tricarboxylic acid cycle, for it redirects the Molecular pathway of TCA to prevent full oxidation of carbon compounds, and to preserve high energy carbon sources as future energy sources.

11.

The rate-limiting step occurs near the beginning of the Molecular pathway and is regulated by feedback inhibition, which ultimately controls the overall rate of the Molecular pathway.

FactSnippet No. 734,209
12.

Rate of turnover in a metabolic Molecular pathway, known as the metabolic flux, is regulated based on the stoichiometric reaction model, the utilization rate of metabolites, and the translocation pace of molecules across the lipid bilayer.
