Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Energy requiring metabolic pathways that yield complex molecules from simpler precursors are:
A
amphibolic.
B
anabolic.
C
autotrophic.
D
catabolic.
E
heterotrophic.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Anabolic pathways build complex molecules from simpler ones and typically need an input of energy. Building glucose from carbon dioxide is one example. Other examples include the synthesis of proteins from amino acids, or of DNA strands from nucleic acid building blocks (nucleotides).

Detailed explanation-2: -Anabolic Pathways One example of an anabolic pathway is the synthesis of sugar from CO2. Other examples include the synthesis of large proteins from amino acid building blocks and the synthesis of new DNA strands from nucleic acid building blocks.

Detailed explanation-3: -Definition. The series of chemical reactions that constructs or synthesizes molecules from smaller units, usually requiring input of energy (ATP) in the process. Supplement. Examples are bone growth and mineralization, and muscle mass build-up.
