You would expect a catabolic reaction to be spontaneous because this type of reaction involves the release of energy. You would expect reactions that require energy (anabolic reactions) not to be spontaneous due to the need for an input of energy.
No, in fact catabolic pathways are spontaneous, since they undergo exogonic reaction (breaking of polymers into monomer) and release heat. Anabolic pathways are the opposite as the require energy in order to build monomers into polymers and undergo endogonic reactions, hence are non-spontaneous.
Anabolic, endergonic, non-spontaneous
Anabolic pathways require energy to combine simple molecules into more complex ones.
The citric acid cycle functions in both the anabolic and catabolic pathways
anabolic pathway is one that the products are more complicated than reactants. they usually need energy(ΔG>0) anabolic pathways are enzymatic and occur in living organism cells and uses energy to construct components of cells such as protein and nucleic acid.
The breaking apart the link between ATP and phosphate which produces heat is catabolic, exergonic, and spontaneous. The burning of paper is catabolic, exergonic, and spontaneous.
Most anabolic pathways are divergent, while catabolic pathways are convergent.

Anabolic and Catabolic Pathways ,Catabolismbreaks down organic matter, for example to harvest energy in Cellular_respiration. Anabolismuses energy to construct components of cells such as Proteinand Nucleic_acid.
in the human body exces glucose enters anabolic pathways and may be converted into glycogen or what
Pathways that have an overall energy requirement are referred to as anabolic reactions.
Anabolic pathways are the pathways involved in the an-aerobic alternative of respiration
form polymers from monomers
It can be used in catabolic and anabolic pathways.

The anabolic pathways in the human body is what is responsible for constructing molecules from other units. They essentially assist with the building up of organs and tissues.
Anabolic pathways require energy to combine simple molecules into more complex ones.
