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
This is happen during anaphase when two chromatids separate and move towards opposite poles,
If no oxygen is available to a cell, then the net atp productiion resulting from the metabolism of a single glucose molecule is Two ATP molecules.
Protection of certain species is a very controversial topic. Many species like the mountain lion or jaguar that are near extinction in certain areas, are threats to human life. Another reason is that they could off set the food chain when they come back and be stonger than ever. For example the mountian lion could eat out the thriving white tail deer population which was struggling because of the mountain lion. And many people rely on white tail deer for food.
Hope this helped :)
