Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
____ is the endergonic synthesis of molecules.
A
metabolism
B
anabolism
C
catabolism
D
exernism
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Protein synthesis is an anabolic process in which many amino acids are joined together to form protein and this process requires energy so it absorbs energy during the reaction and energy is only absorbed during the endergonic reaction therefore protein synthesis is an endergonic reaction.

Detailed explanation-2: -Metabolic reactions may be categorized as catabolic – the breaking down of compounds (for example, the breaking down of glucose to pyruvate by cellular respiration); or anabolic – the building up (synthesis) of compounds (such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids).

Detailed explanation-3: -Anabolic reactions can always be endergonic reactions. Examples to explain anabolic reactions are-proteins and enzymes interaction. Proteins, as we know, are building blocks of the body and they are formed from chains of small monomers of amino acids or peptides. All enzymes are derived from proteins.
