A catabolic pathway may be which of the following? a. a set of reactions that combine monomers into larger, more energy-rich pol
ymers b. a set of coupled reactions that are endergonic c. a set of reactions that release energy that can be used to drive cellular work d. a set of reactions that form covalent bonds between molecules to store free energy
The correct answer is option c. "a set of reactions that release energy that can be used to drive cellular work".
Explanation:
Catabolism is a part of metabolism at which molecules are broken down into smaller units in order to release energy that could be used in other reactions that drive cellular work. A catabolic pathway follows catabolism criteria. Catabolic pathways are the opposite of anabolic pathways, at which large molecules are synthesized with the requirement of external energy supply.
Velocity is a vector quantity which means it has both magnitude and direction means in order to calculate it another vector quantity is used which is displacement on the other hand speed is a scalar quantity.
