Solution
The correct option is B Catabolic; Anabolic The catabolic process is the process in which complex molecules are broken down into simpler ones, during this process energy is released. While the anabolic process is the process in which simpler molecules combine to form complex molecules, energy is consumed during this process. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
