Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
This type of reaction builds large molecules from smaller pieces, consumes energy, and energy is stored through building bonds.
A
Catabolic
B
Anabolic
C
Exergonic
D
Endergonic
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Anabolic processes build complex molecules out of simpler ones and require energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -Anabolic reactions involve the building of larger, complex molecules from smaller, simpler ones, and require an input of energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Anabolic reactions use energy to synthesize large molecules from multiple smaller ones. Catabolic reactions break down large molecules into smaller ones, releasing energy in the process.

Detailed explanation-4: -Catabolism breaks bonds and releases energy. Anabolism, on the other hand, is the term that describes the process of building larger molecules from smaller ones.

Detailed explanation-5: -Definition. An endergonic reaction is one that requires free energy to proceed. An example of an endergonic reaction of biological interest is photosynthesis. Photosynthetic organisms conduct this reaction by using solar photons to drive the reduction of carbon dioxide to glucose and the oxidation of water to oxygen.
