Which of the following is not a characteristic of catabolic pathways?
A) macromolecules, such as carbohydrates, are hydrolyzed to monomers and then oxidized
B) ATP is a common product in such pathways
C) the pathways are exergonic
D) energy input is required for these pathways to take place

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Catabolic pathways are characterized by the breakdown of complex molecules into simpler ones, releasing energy in the process. They are exergonic, meaning they release energy, and often result in the production of ATP. Therefore, they do not require an input of energy to proceed, which makes option D incorrect.
