The Pentose Phosphate Pathway is an example of anabolism.

Explanation:

The pentose phosphate pathway (PPP))is more anabolic as it synthesizes complex molecules like reducing agents (NADPH) and pentose sugar from simpler glucose molecules.

The main functions of this pathway are:

Generation of reducing equivalents like reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) (reduced form of NADP) is used for cellular anabolic reduction reactions of biosynthesis of nucleic acids, fatty acids. The PPP metabolic pathway accounts for about 60% of NADPH synthesis. NADPH functions both as a co-factor and as a fundamental metabolite in cellular biosynthesis.

The pentose sugar or the five-carbon link sugar ribose-5-phosphate (R5P) synthesized in PPP is used for biosynthesis of nucleic acids and nucleotides.

Since the products of phosphate pentose pathway are primarily used for anabolic reactions in biosynthesis, this is more anabolic.

on island x the species needed to adapt because they were being subject to predators which didn't inhabit island y.  

some scientists like gregory adcock agree with thorne's theory of regional continuity.

others, like chris stringer and ian tattersall, believe thorne's results may be contaminated or misinterpreted.
