Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is correctly paired?
A
hydrolysis and anabolsim
B
hydrolysis and catabolism
C
dehydration synthesis and catabolism
D
dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Anabolism and catabolism are co-related via an adenosine triphosphate molecule. The high and enhanced energy phosphate bonds of ATP molecule will store the energy captured in catabolic reaction and releases it further, in anabolism.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hydrolysis reactions break covalent bonds by consuming a water molecule and dividing its atoms between separate molecules. These reactions are catabolic.

Detailed explanation-3: -Anabolism is the process of building up more complex substances from simpler substances. Anabolic reactions in cells frequently employ dehydration synthesis as a. mechanism for building complex macromolecules.

Detailed explanation-4: -Dehydration synthesis is an anabolic reaction. During dehydration synthesis, a molecule of OH is removed from one monomer, and an atom of H is removed from a second monomer.
