Question

Which of these pairs indicates an incorrect coupling of reversible reactions?dehydration synthesis and hydrolysisanabolic and catabolichydrolysis and breakdownbreakdown and synthesis

Answer 1

Answer:

option C= hydrolysis and break down

Explanation:

All other three pairs are correct coupling of each others.

Option A= dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis

Dehydration synthesis:

In dehydration synthesis monomers combine through the covalent bonds and form large molecules. The large molecules are called polymers. The water as a byproduct also released when monomers joints together.

Hydrolysis:

In hydrolysis the polymers are break down into monomers by using water molecules. The catalysts are also required in this process.

Option B= Catabolic and Anabolic

Anabolic:

In this process smaller molecules combine to gather to form large complex molecules by using energy.

For example simple glucose molecules join together to form large disaccharides.

Catabolic:

It is the break down of large complex molecules to the smaller molecules.

For example during cellular respiration sugar molecules break down and generate energy.

Option D=  Break down and synthesis

The break down and synthesis are also reverse pair of each others. The  synthesis involve the formation of molecules form smaller component while the break down involve destruction of molecules into smaller units.
