I think that the question is not clear enough. Can you be more specific?

If your question was something like this: how many atoms of hydrogen can be around carbon, then the answer is 4. Carbon forms 4 bonds with other atoms.

Please note that carbon need not always form bonds to four atoms. A carbon could form a double bond with an oxygen and then two single bonds to hydrogen atoms. The carbon is only bonded to three atoms, but is forming a total of four bonds (1 double and 2 singles).

Lunna [17]

The answer is a ‘series of steps in which enzymes work one at a time to convert a compound to a related compound’. The intermediate products of metabolic pathways are called metabolites. An example of a metabolic cycle is the Glycolysis and Krebs cycles. The product in each step of the metabolic pathways becomes the substrate of the next step in the pathway. There are two types of metabolic pathways; anabolic and catabolic
