one strategy that makes metabolic pathways more efficient is
enzymes for a pathway are separated into different organelles.
all of the reactions use the same substrate.
enzymes for a given pathway are located in the same place within the cell.
all of the reactions use the same enzyme.
When enzymes for a given metabolic pathway are located in the same place within the cell, the products of one reaction can quickly become substrates for the next reaction without having to diffuse long distances. This proximity increases the efficiency of the pathway. Separating enzymes into different organelles would slow down the pathway as substrates would need to travel between organelles. Different reactions in a pathway usually have different substrates and require different enzymes.
