MUSCLE PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -This is a catabolic pathway. Catabolic pathways involve the degradation (or breakdown) of complex molecules into simpler ones. Molecular energy stored in the bonds of complex molecules is released in catabolic pathways and harvested in such a way that it can be used to produce ATP.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cellular respiration is a catabolic process during which glucose is broken down to release usable energy for a cell. As in all catabolic processes, cellular respiration releases energy which can then be harnessed and used by other reactions in the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -List of examples for catabolic pathways: Glycolysis (breakdown or oxidation of glucose) Kreb’s cycle or Tricarboxylic acid cycle or citric acid cycle (oxidation of acetyl CoA)

Detailed explanation-4: -Catabolism is the degradation of complex macromolecules into simpler molecules such as carbon dioxide, water, and ammonia. Anabolism is the biosynthetic pathways that generate complex macromolecules such as nucleic acids, proteins, polysaccharides, and lipids.
