Anabolic reactions that involve ligases and release water molecules when bonds are formed are called ______ reactions.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Condensation reactions involve the joining of two molecules with the release of water, which is a characteristic of anabolic processes where smaller molecules are built up into larger ones. Ligases are enzymes that catalyze the joining of two molecules with the formation of a new bond, often with the concomitant hydrolysis of a diphosphate bond in ATP or a similar triphosphate.
