Several general characteristics of metabolic reactions or reaction pathways are listed below. sort them into the appropriate metabolic category. note: if you answer any part of this question incorrectly, a single red x will appear indicating that one or more of the statements is incorrectly placed.

Metabolism is all chemical reactions that occur in organisms, including those that occur at the cellular level.

The three main goals of metabolism are:

In general, metabolism has two directional trajectories for organic chemical reactions:

catabolism, which is a reaction that breaks down molecules of organic compounds, such as the breakdown of glucose into pyruvate by cellular respiration;

anabolism, which is a reaction that assembles (synthesis) organic compounds such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids from certain molecules.

Catabolism is a series of metabolic processes that break down large molecules, including breaking down and oxidizing food molecules. The purpose of catabolic reactions is to provide the energy and components needed by anabolic reactions in order to build molecules.

Anabolism is a metabolic pathway that arranges several simple organic compounds into chemical compounds or complex molecules. This process requires outside energy. The energy used in this reaction can be either light energy or chemical energy. The energy, then used to bind these simple compounds into more complex compounds. So, in this process the required energy is not lost, but stored in the form of chemical bonds in the complex compounds formed.
