The fat in adipose cells is broken down into fatty acids. which pathway is involved in this process? a: a catabolic pathway
b: an anabolic pathway
c: catabolic and anabolic pathways

The correct answer is a: A catabolic pathway.

The catabolic reactions breaks down the large organic molecule to smaller molecules thus releasing energy contained in the chemical bonds of the larger molecules. The fatty acids stored in the form of triglycerides are released from the fats that are deposited in the adipose tissues in between the meals.

The fatty acid catabolism includes lipolysis which removes the fatty acid chains or the triglycerides into glycerol and other small chain fatty acids.The β- oxidation process occurring the matrix of mitochondria breaks the long chain fatty acids finally to the acetyl-coA molecules. In each cycle of the β-  oxidation 5 ATP molecules are released at the end.

dna fingerprinting is defined as a process that determines the dna characteristics of an individual. these dna characteristics are unique among individuals as their fingerprints, so it is known as dna fingerprinting.

steps of dna fingerprinting includes extraction of dna from sample, amplification of dna, restriction digestion of amplified dna, and then analysis of dna by gel electrophoresis, respectively.

thus, the next step performed by the scientist is 'to cut the amplified dna (obtained by polymerase chain reaction) by restriction enzymes that cleave the dna into fragments and their analysis.'
