Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Carbohydrates are the primary source of energy in photoautotrophs, such as plants, which are used in catabolic processes to generate metabolic intermediates. These intermediates are then used to supply anabolism, the set of metabolic pathways that construct molecules from smaller units.
