Enzymes control metabolic pathways ... molecules into smaller ones (degradation). An example of an anabolic reaction is photosynthesis, where plants make glucose molecules from different raw ...

However, when the researchers blocked an earlier step in glycolysis, the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate isomerase ... blockade inhibits the sugar degradation pathway in both cases.

Most cells use glucose for ATP synthesis, but there are other fuel molecules equally important for maintaining the body's equilibrium or homeostasis. Indeed, although the oxidation pathways of ...
