SDSU Compare and Contrast Anabolism and Catabolism Discussion Questions

I’m working on a microbiology question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

1. Compare and contrast anabolism and catabolism. Give an example of a metabolic pathway
that represents each type of process.
2. What is the role of enzymes in a biochemical pathway?
3. Describe the details of the process of how an enzyme speeds up a chemical reaction,
including the structure of the enzyme.
4. How are enzymes named?
5. Describe the major classes into which enzymes are classified, the type of reaction catalyzed,
and give an example of each.
