Harper Mclaughlin · Answer 1

Answer: A (catabolism and Anabolism)

Explanation:

Metabolic pathway are basically divided into two categories.

1. Catabolic

2. Anabolic

Catabolic (degradation) pathways, where energy rich complex macramolecules are degraded into smaller molecules. Energy released during this is trapped as chemical energy, usually as ATP.

Anabolic (biosynthesis) pathways. The cells synthesize complex molecules from simple precursors. This needs energy.
