Answer 2

@pooja195 is this right and if so what is the answer to Are these molecules the result of anabolic or catabolic processes?

Answer 3

i think it is right

Answer 4

So is it the result of a anabolic or catabolic process

Answer 5

i think so

Answer 6

Which one tho anabolic or catabolic

Answer 7

i dont know for sure but i think it is one of those

Answer 8

Try think logically. You said they all provide energy, add some oxygen and we do a total oxidation of molecule to release energy.

Now we want the opposite. We want to build "a high energy molecule" from less energy rich molecules. Remember what that process is called?

Answer 9

I think it is Anabolic

Answer 10

Correct ^^

Answer 11

Anabolism: to build up larger molecules from smaller molecules
Catabolism: to break down larger molecules into smaller molecules.

A good way to remember it if ever in doubt is to think about "anabolic steroids" as they build up muscles.

Answer 13
