What is the main difference between catabolism and anabolism?
What is the main difference between catabolism and anabolism?
- Catabolism breaks down simple molecules, while anabolism combines simple molecules into complex ones.
- Catabolism consumes more energy than it produces, while anabolism produces more energy than it consumes.
- Catabolism produces more energy than it consumes, while anabolism consumes more energy than it produces. (correct)
- Catabolism forms the body's structural components, while anabolism breaks down complex organic compounds.
