Question

Metabolism is a___ reaction
a) synthesis
b) decomposition
c) exchange
d) reversible

Answer 1

What I think is it should be both A and B. Remember types of metabolism i.e catabolism and anabolism.

Answer 2

they are only letting me choose 1, synthesis is when 2 or more atoms, ion, or molecules combine to form a molecule of a new compound. And decomposition is the opposite. So which one would be a metabolic reaction?
