Which of the Following Pathways are Called Biosynthetic Pathways

Question

Which of the following pathways are called biosynthetic pathways?
A) anabolic pathways
B) catabolic pathways
C) both anabolic and catabolic pathways
D) neither anabolic nor catabolic pathways

Accepted Answer

Biosynthetic pathways are also known as anabolic pathways because they involve the synthesis of complex molecules from simpler ones. Catabolic pathways, on the other hand, break down complex molecules into simpler ones. Therefore, only choice A is the correct answer.
