Questions and Answers

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.
  • What are the overall energy characteristics of anabolic reactions?

  • Endergonic: produce more energy than they consume
  • Endergonic: consume more energy than they produce (correct)
  • Exergonic: consume more energy than they produce
  • Exergonic: produce more energy than they consume
  • How are catabolism and anabolism connected in metabolic processes?

  • Through the formation of ATP
  • Through the coupling of ATP (correct)
  • Through the release of ATP
  • Through the breakdown of ATP
