Answer

5 properties control metabolic properties in cellular systems: A complex chemical transformation occurs in a series of separate reactions that form a metabolic pathway. • Enzymes are specific to reactions. • Many metabolic pathways are similar in all organisms. • Many metabolic pathways are compartmentalized in eukaryotes.Certain reactions occur inside designated organelles to maximize efficiency. • Key enzymes in metabolic pathways can be inhibited or activated to change the reaction rate.
