Interpretation: The location of the complex
Concept introduction: Catabolism is the process by which relatively big molecules in living cells are broken down, also known as degradation. This process involves a series of reactions that are catalyzed by enzymes.
Answer to Problem 73A
Complex biomolecules broken down during catabolism can come from either existing unnecessary bodily tissues or food.
Explanation of Solution
The degradation processes that take place during catabolism supply the energy and building blocks essential for the synthesis of new biomolecules. Either the body's already-existing, unnecessary tissues or the meals that eat can provide the source of the complex biomolecules that will be broken down during catabolism.
Complex biomolecules broken down during catabolism can come from either existing unnecessary bodily tissues or food.
