1 7 Key Area 1.6 Metabolic Pathways (a) Metabolic Pathways. Metabolic pathways are integrated and controlled pathways of enzyme- catalysed reactions within a cell Metabolic pathways can have reversible steps, steps and alternative routes. substrate ↓ Enzyme A Intermediate I reversible Enzyme B step, Or Intermediate 2 ↓ ENZYME C Product Enzyme X catabolic alternative route Intermediate Enzyme Y Reactions within metabolic pathways can be anabolic. irreversable Anabolic pathways build up (synthesis) larger molecules from small molecules online proteins from amino acids); They require energy Catabolic pathways break down large molecules into Smaller molecules. And They release energy. b) Control of Metabolic Dathways. controlled by the presence in the pathway absence of parhonlar enzymes. and through the regulation of " raters of reaction of key enzymes within the pathway. Metabolic pathways are Enzymes can lower the Enzymes o activation energy (energy required to starty off a reaction) hajvy progress of reaction Enzymes are made of proteins folded into a shape exposing the active site. 50 Ea without enzyme Ea with enzyme Products have Enzymes are specific to one type of substrate. The molecules of a substrate are complementary to the active site for mey show a high affinity which are low released after. a for specific affinity the reaction the active site The active site is dynamic and flexible, meaning that the shape of when molecules enter the active site. the enzyme changes slightly, making the active site fit very closely round the subshate moleale.
