Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anaplerotic reactions are biochemical reactions that replenish the intermediates in pathways that have been depleted due to the activity of other metabolic pathways. This process helps to maintain the balance of metabolic pathways and ensure that they can continue to function properly. Therefore, in anaplerotic reactions, intermediates are regenerated, but there is no import of nutrients from the environment or salvaging of molecules targeted for breakdown.
