Question

question
which of the following correctly states the relationship between anabolic and catabolic pathways?
answer
catabolic pathways produce usable cellular energy by synthesizing more complex organic molecules.
anabolic pathways synthesize more complex organic molecules using the energy derived from catabolic pathways.
the flow of energy between catabolic and anabolic pathways is reversible.
energy derived from catabolic pathways is used to drive the breakdown of organic molecules in anabolic pathways.
degradation of organic molecules by anabolic pathways provides the energy to drive catabolic pathways.
i dont know yet

Explanation:

• Catabolic pathways: Break down complex organic molecules into simpler ones, releasing energy.
• Anabolic pathways: Use energy (often from catabolic pathways) to synthesize complex organic molecules from simpler ones.

Answer:

Anabolic pathways synthesize more complex organic molecules using the energy derived from catabolic pathways.
