Question

4 — energy metabolism
learning objective: analyze the components of energy metabolism.
which pathway of energy metabolism requires energy?

a.) anaerobic

b.) anabolic

c.) aerobic

d.) catabolic

Explanation:

Anabolic pathways in energy metabolism involve building complex molecules from simpler ones, which requires energy (e.g., protein synthesis). Anaerobic and aerobic are types of catabolic (energy - releasing) processes, and catabolic pathways break down molecules to release energy. So the pathway that requires energy is anabolic.

Answer:

b.) Anabolic
