Your Answer:
Building up smaller chemical building blocks.
Anabolism is the process of building up or biosynthesis of macromolecules
from small molecular units into much larger complexes.
Question 5
pts
In order to convert proteins into amino acids which metabolic process would be active?
Your Answer:
glycolysis
Catabolism would be active as proteins are made up of amino acids.
Therefore the process described (proteins into amino acids) is the
breakdown, or catabolism of protein.
