As an assist to his students back in 1960, microbiologist Donald Nicholson sketched out a big chart of metabolic pathways; he thought it would help them to have it pinned up on a wall for ready ...

For example, in plants, specific metabolic pathways can produce glucose and chlorophyll. Metabolic pathways can be described as a series of chemical reactions that start with a substrate and ...

All metabolic pathways have to be regulated and controlled to stop the build-up of an end product that isn’t needed. The cell can control a metabolic pathway by the presence or absence of a ...

The new molecules built via anabolic pathways (macromolecules) are useful for building cell structures and maintaining the cell. Cells constantly adjust the flow of molecules through metabolic ...
