Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prokaryotes that can synthesize all of their cellular components from simple molecules are called autotrophs.

Answer: A
 Anabolic reactions are those that build larger molecules from smaller ones, which is what these prokaryotes are doing by synthesizing all of their cellular components.

Answer: M
 ΔG°’ is a measure of free energy change in a chemical reaction, and is relevant here because these prokaryotes are able to synthesize all of their cellular components from simple molecules, which requires energy input.

Answer: C
 The given string is not a valid answer choice.
