Which of the following statements is true concerning catabolic pathways in organic chemistry?
A
Catabolic pathways are exclusively found in photosynthetic organisms.
B
Catabolic pathways are primarily involved in the synthesis of complex molecules from simpler ones.
C
Catabolic pathways involve the breakdown of complex molecules into simpler ones, releasing energy.
D
Catabolic pathways require energy input to proceed.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the definition of catabolic pathways: Catabolic pathways are metabolic processes that break down complex molecules into simpler ones, releasing energy in the process.
Evaluate the statement 'Catabolic pathways are exclusively found in photosynthetic organisms': This statement is false because catabolic pathways are found in all living organisms, not just photosynthetic ones.
Evaluate the statement 'Catabolic pathways are primarily involved in the synthesis of complex molecules from simpler ones': This statement is false because catabolic pathways are involved in the breakdown of complex molecules, not synthesis.
Evaluate the statement 'Catabolic pathways involve the breakdown of complex molecules into simpler ones, releasing energy': This statement is true and accurately describes the function of catabolic pathways.
Evaluate the statement 'Catabolic pathways require energy input to proceed': This statement is false because catabolic pathways release energy rather than requiring it.
