Which of the following is an example of an anabolic pathway?
A)a set of reactions that combine monomers into larger,more energy-rich polymers
B)a set of coupled reactions that are exergonic
C)a set of reactions that break covalent bonds between molecules to release free energy
D)a set of reactions that release energy that can be used to drive cellular work

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anabolic pathways involve the synthesis of larger, more complex molecules from smaller, simpler molecules. This process requires energy input and typically involves the formation of covalent bonds between molecules. The other choices describe catabolic pathways, which involve the breakdown of large molecules into smaller ones and the release of energy.
