Question

Which of the following describes the metabolic reactions involved in linking glucose monomers to form cellulose?

A. anabolic and endergonic

B. catabolic and endergonic

C. anabolic and exergonic

D. catabolic and exergonic

Answer 1

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The metabolic reactions involved in linking glucose monomers to form cellulose are anabolic and endergonic. It is anabolic since you are forming a larger molecule from smaller monomer units. It is endergonic because joining the smaller units requires energy input.
