Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reactions in which molecules are degraded and energy is released are referred to as catabolic reactions. Anabolic reactions are those that involve the synthesis of complex molecules from simpler ones, and metabolic reactions refer to all of the chemical reactions that occur within a living organism. Exerbolic is not a valid term in biology.
