(b)
Majority of the metabolic reactions do not occur in isolation, i.e., they are always linked to some other reactions. Metabolites are converted into each other in a series of linked reactions, called metabolic pathways. The metabolites flow through metabolic pathways. The metabolites flow through metabolic pathways has a definite rate and direction. In the cells or tissues, there metabolic pathways criss-cross each other and therefore, the metabolite flow is called the dynamic state of the constituents. In healthy state of a living organism, metabolite flow is very smooth and flawless
