Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Reactions that build up molecules
A
catabolic reaction
B
anabolic reaction
C
thermal expansion
D
reactants and products
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Anabolic reactions, also called biosynthesis reactions, create new molecules that form new cells and tissues, and revitalize organs.

Detailed explanation-3: -Anabolic reactions involve the building of larger, complex molecules from smaller, simpler ones, and require an input of energy. Catabolic reactions are the opposite of anabolic reactions, and break the chemical bonds in larger, more complex molecules.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Catabolism, at its core, involves breaking down of complex molecules and releasing energy for the body to use. The anabolic process is the complete opposite of catabolism as it involves creating bigger, complex molecules from smaller, simpler molecules. These are usually stored by the body for future use.
