copararisons between anabolic and catabolic processes?

Question

can anyone help please

Answer 1

Anabolism is the process of building molecules or substances up, usually from more simple molecules to more complex ones.
For example conversion of glucose into starch in plants.

Catabolism is the process of breaking things down, usually from complex molecules to simpler ones. E.g. the conversion of starch to glucose.

The sum total of these reactions is metabolism.

Answer 2

Anabolic processes are those which build up molecules from smaller units. The cell spends energy to do so. Catabolic processes are those which break down larger molecules to release energy. Gene Expression is a process of building up mRNA and ultimately proteins. It is an anabolic process. It, in fact, a series of anabolic processes.

Answer 3

Anabolic build things up. Catabolic break them down. Metabolizing sugar to acetic acid, CH3COOH, is a catabolic process. Building acetic acid up to long-chain fatty acids like stearic, CH3(CH2)16COOH, is anabolic. So eating excess sweets will make one fat.

Answer 4

Anabolic: Photosynthesis - water+CO2=glucose
this type of reaction requires energy in this case sunlight & is a building up process

Catabolic: Respiraton - glucose=water+CO2
this type or reaction gives energy & is a breaking down process
