Question

What is the breakdown of glucose, anabolic or catabolic reaction called

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is - catabolic reaction.

Explanation:

The breakdown of glucose is the catabolic reaction as it releases the energy in the process which means the breakdown of large molecules into its components is known as a catabolic reaction.

Catabolic reactions are generally downhill reactions as they release energy and result in the formation of the ATPs in this process. Anabolic respiration is a reaction that involves assembling of a small compound to form a new large molecule.
