Anabolism is the collective term for:
A)synthesis reactions
B)reversible reactions
C)decomposition reactions
D)energy-producing reactions

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anabolism refers to the synthesis or building up of larger molecules from smaller ones, such as the synthesis of proteins from amino acids. Thus, choice A, which refers to synthesis reactions, is the best choice for the collective term for anabolism. The other choices are not accurate as reversible reactions and decomposition reactions may involve both anabolic and catabolic processes, and energy-producing reactions can refer to both catabolism and anabolism.
