Anabolic pathways ________.
A) do not depend on enzymes
B) are usually highly spontaneous chemical reactions
C) consume energy to build up polymers from monomers
D) release energy as they degrade polymers to monomers
E) consume energy to decrease the entropy of the organism and its environment

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anabolic pathways involve the building up of larger molecules from smaller ones, which requires the input of energy. This is often achieved through enzymatic reactions that catalyze the biochemical reactions involved in the synthesis of these molecules. Therefore, anabolic pathways consume energy to build up polymers from monomers.
