Answer:
Equilibrium
Step-by-step explanation:
The series of chemical reactions taking place in a cell is called a metabolic pathway. Any substance undergoing a reaction has crossed the equilibrium point. The substances i.e., reactants, products involved in the metabolic pathway are called metabolites.
A reaction occurs when a substance transforms itself by interacting with another substance. This generally occurs due to change in the position of electrons or the formation or destruction of chemical bonds.
Hence, reactions that occur in metabolic pathways which are subjected to regulation are displaced far from equilibrium.
