Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Catabolism is a form of metabolism in which ____ molecules are converted into ____ molecules.
A
small, large
B
large, small
C
food, storage
D
amino acid, protein
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Catabolism is the branch of the metabolic process that breaks down complex, big molecules into smaller ones, yielding energy. It is the destructive branch of the metabolism that results in the release of energy. Each living cell depends on energy for its existence.

Detailed explanation-2: -Catabolism (pronounced: kuh-TAB-uh-liz-um), or destructive metabolism, is the process that produces the energy needed for all activity in the cells. Cells break down large molecules (mostly carbs and fats) to release energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Catabolic reactions involve breaking down larger and complex molecules into smaller and simpler molecules releasing energy in the process. Anabolic reactions, on the other hand, involves building complex/macromolecules from simple and smaller molecules.

Detailed explanation-5: -Catabolism is the part of the metabolic process that breaks down large, complicated molecules into smaller ones in order to produce energy. The energy is released as a result of the destructive branch of metabolism.
