Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anabolism is the process of chemical reactions that combine simple molecules and monomers to form complex structures, such as proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. Metabolism refers to all the chemical reactions that occur in a cell, including both anabolism and catabolism, which breaks down complex molecules into simpler ones. Metathesis reactions are a type of chemical reaction where the cations and anions of two different compounds switch places to form two new compounds.
