What is catabolism?
Metabolic pathways that break down molecules into smaller molecules to generate ATP and NADH
Metabolic pathways that synthesise complex molecules from simpler ones using ATP, GTP and UTP

What is a cofactor?
A non-protein chemical compound required for a protein's biological activity
A competitive inhibitor of an enzyme
A non-competitive inhibitor of an enzyme
An enzyme that catalyses covalent modification of enzymes to activate or deactivate them
