Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
building reactions needed to maintain life is considered as:
A
catabolic
B
lolabolic
C
metabolic
D
anabolic
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -There are two main categories of reactions in cell chemistry. CATABOLIC reactions BREAK DOWN food molecules and release energy and chemicals for further use. ANABOLIC reactions BUILD UP complex molecules required by the cell. Anabolic reactions depend on catabolic reactions to provide energy and materials.

Detailed explanation-3: -Understanding Anabolism and Catabolism The anabolic state is one where the body builds and repairs muscle tissue as opposed to a catabolic state that involves the process of breaking down tissue to replenish depleted energy levels of the body. So the catabolic process provides energy for anabolism to occur.

Detailed explanation-4: -Anabolism is the building of complex molecules from numerous simple ones. Think of protein synthesis. Catabolism is the breakdown of complex molecules into numerous simple ones.
