Question

Anabolism is the breakdown of complex molecules into simpler substances.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

In anabolism, a complex substance is produced from simpler substances, e.g. photosynthesis, in which glucose is made from carbon dioxide and water. In catabolism, a complex substance is broken down into simpler substances, e.g. respiration, in which glucose is broken down into carbon dioxide and water. Hence, the given statement is false.
