Classify each pathway of carbohydrate metabolism as anabolic or catabolic. Justify your choice in each case.
Answer: Glycolysis is catabolic, because a large molecule is broken into smaller ones, with a net production of high-energy molecules. Gluconeogenesis is anabolic because it is a synthesis reaction. It consumes energy as ATP and GTP. Glycogenolysis is catabolic because it involves breaking larger molecules into smaller ones. Glycogenesis is anabolic because it consumes energy in the form of UTP in order to build a larger molecule from smaller ones.

The hydrolysis of creatine phosphate is coupled with the synthesis of ATP. The equations for the reactions are given below. Would this coupling be favored?
Creatine phosphate + H2O → Creatine + HOPO3-2 ΔG = -10.3 kcal/mol ADP + HOPO3-2 + H+ → ATP + H2O ΔG = +7.3 kcal/mol Answer: Add the two equations to get: Creatine phosphate + ADP + H+ → Creatine + ATP ΔG = -10.3 kcal/mol + 7.3 kcal/mol = -3.0 kcal/mol. Therefore, the reaction is favored.
