The process called substrate cycling is used to describe this process:
A) Freely reversible reactions.
B) Recycling of vitamins as catalysts in metabolism
C) Situations where there are two different enzymes used to reverse a specific step in a metabolic pathway.

E) None of these answers describes substrate cycling.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Substrate cycling refers to the process where two different enzymes catalyze the forward and reverse reactions of a specific step in a metabolic pathway. This allows for fine control of metabolic fluxes and the regulation of metabolic pathways.
