The flow of material through a metabolic pathway is called the ________. The flow of material through a metabolic pathway is called the ________. Current Flux Cascade effect Degree of amplification
The rate by which the turnover of the molecules takes place in a metabolic pathway that regulates the flow of material is termed as metabolic flux or simply flux.
The various enzymes that are involved in the metabolic pathway are responsible for regulating the flux.
The flux varies with the different states of activity of a person and it is important for the regulation of metabolic activities as well as maintain the homeostasis of the body.
The mathematical expression to calculate the flux is :
