Detailed explanation-1: -They consume energy to build up polymers from monomers. They release energy by breaking down polymers into monomers. They increase the entropy of the organism.

Detailed explanation-2: -Of the following options, the only one that is true is answer option C. Anabolic pathways or anabolism is the process of using energy to build polymers from monomeric units.

Detailed explanation-3: -Catabolic pathways involve the breakdown of nutrient molecules (Food: A, B, C) into usable forms (building blocks). In this process, energy is either stored in energy molecules for later use, or released as heat.

Detailed explanation-4: -Anabolism requires energy to grow and build. Catabolism uses energy to break down. These metabolic processes work together in all living organisms to do things like produce energy and repair cells.
