Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What type of reaction builds up larger molecules from smaller ones?
A
metabolic
B
catabolic
C
anabolic
D
inhibition
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Anabolic reactions are metabolic reactions that synthesize large molecules from smaller ones. This will involve the formation of bonds between molecules or atoms to build up larger molecules or compounds.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dehydration synthesis reactions build molecules up and generally require energy, while hydrolysis reactions break molecules down and generally release energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Endergonic reactions in organisms are called anabolic reactions. These reactions absorb energy and build bigger molecules from smaller ones. An example of an anabolic reaction is the joining of amino acids to form a protein.

Detailed explanation-4: -Anabolic reactions use energy to build complex molecules from simpler organic compounds (e.g., proteins from amino acids, carbohydrates from sugars, fats from fatty acids and glycerol); catabolic reactions break complex molecules down into simpler ones, releasing chemical energy.
