Nucleic Acid Metabolism

The sum of all chemical reactions in living cells (correct)

The synthesis of molecules for cell maintenance and growth

The breakdown of complex molecules into simpler compounds

The degradation and synthesis of polymers

Complex molecules that are broken down into simpler compounds

Small molecule intermediates in the degradation and synthesis of polymers (correct)

Large molecule intermediates in the degradation and synthesis of polymers

Molecules that are synthesized for cell maintenance and growth

Anabolism is the synthesis of molecules for cell maintenance and growth, while catabolism is the breakdown of complex molecules (correct)

Anabolism and catabolism are the same process

Anabolism is the breakdown of complex molecules, while catabolism is the synthesis of molecules for cell maintenance and growth

Anabolism and catabolism are unrelated processes
