Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Which of the following is true of anabolic reactions? Anabolic reactions use ATP and small substrates as building blocks to synthesize larger molecules.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: Anabolic reactions require energy in order to make the smaller compounds into larger ones, so they are not spontaneous.
Detailed explanation-3: -Which statement about anabolism is true? In anabolism, energy is absorbed.
Detailed explanation-4: -Anabolic reactions, or biosynthetic reactions, synthesize larger molecules from smaller constituent parts, using ATP as the energy source for these reactions. Anabolic reactions build bone, muscle mass, and new proteins, fats, and nucleic acids.
