Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which term describes the synthesis of complex molecules from simpler molecules?
A
adhesion
B
catabolism
C
metabolism
D
anabolism
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -anabolism, also called biosynthesis, the sequences of enzyme-catalyzed reactions by which relatively complex molecules are formed in living cells from nutrients with relatively simple structures.

Detailed explanation-2: -• Anabolism is the synthesis of complex molecules from simpler molecules including the formation of. macromolecules from monomers by condensation reactions. Anabolic reactions describe the set of metabolic reactions that build up complex molecules from simpler ones.

Detailed explanation-3: -Anabolism is the process by which the body utilizes the energy released by catabolism to synthesize complex molecules. These complex molecules are then utilized to form cellular structures that are formed from small and simple precursors that act as building blocks.

Detailed explanation-4: -Anabolism is a biochemical process in metabolism where the simple molecules combine to generate complex molecules. This process is endergonic, which means it is not spontaneous and requires energy to progress the anabolic reaction.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
