Which of the following describes the metabolic reactions involved in linking glucose monomers to form cellulose?

A. anabolic and endergonic

B. catabolic and endergonic

C. anabolic and exergonic

D. catabolic and exergonic

It's A. anabolic and endergonic. It is anabolic since it is making a polymer (cellulose) from glucose monomers. It is endergonic because this anabolic reaction absorbs energy to form the long polymer chain. Hope this helps! :)
