Question

Which terms describe the metabolic reactions involving the polymerization of glucose to form glycogen?

Answer 1

The correct answer is- anabolic and endergonic

Step-by-step explanation:

In metabolism two types of reaction occurs which are called catabolic and anabolic reaction. In a catabolic reaction, a larger molecule is broken down into smaller molecules and in anabolic reaction, smaller molecules are used to form a larger molecule.

Formation of glycogen is an example of anabolic reaction because in it small and simple glucose molecules are used to create a large polymer called glycogen and this process is an endergonic process which requires energy to form glycogen. Therefore the correct terms are anabolic and endergonic.
