Question

which is an example of an anabolic reaction?
a.) gluconeogenesis
b.) glycogenolysis
c.) proteolysis
d.) lipolysis

Explanation:

Anabolic reactions build complex molecules from simpler ones. Gluconeogenesis is the synthesis of glucose from non - carbohydrate sources (like amino acids, glycerol), which is a building (anabolic) process. Glycogenolysis breaks down glycogen into glucose (catabolic). Proteolysis breaks down proteins into amino acids (catabolic). Lipolysis breaks down lipids (catabolic).

Answer:

A. Gluconeogenesis
