What is the a linear metabolic pathway?

Answer 1

Linear pathways have no major interjections. This means that they are e.g. glyccolysis. However cyclic pathways tend to use the last product they create to rebegin the cycle. They make products but recycle the same key components e.g. the Krebs cycle.

Answer 2

A linear metabolic pathway is a series of connected chemical reactions where the product of one reaction becomes the substrate for the next, resulting in a straight chain of reactions. Each step is catalyzed by a specific enzyme and the pathway typically starts with a specific substrate and ends with a final product. Examples include glycolysis or the citric acid cycle.

Answer 3

Linear pathways have no major interjections. This means that they are e.g. glyccolysis. However cyclic pathways tend to use the last product they create to rebegin the cycle. They make products but recycle the same key components e.g. the Krebs cycle. The easiest way to tell is to simply go into a text book and to see how it is written out. If it follows around in a circle then its cyclic if its a stright line then its linear! :)
