Is the Calvin cycle anabolic or catabolic?

Answer 1

Fermentation is usually used to refer to reactions which produce energy without using oxygen. These reactions involve the breakdown of food molecules eg glucose to release energy. Breakdown reactions are called catabolic reactions, so fermentation is catabolic and not anabolic.

Fermentation process does not produce any energy molecules, its purpose is to recover NAD's that were used in the Glycolysis to use them again in the next Glycolysis process. All Fermentation processes are the subset of a Catabolic reactions, although, their product do not include the release of energy as the other catabolic reactions do.

Also, Fermentation is an Anaerobic Respiration, which happens only in the cells that can not undergo the Aerobic Respiration.

Answer 2

catabolic

It builds up complex molecules using simple molecules.So can be considered as anabolic reaction

Answer 3

Photosynthesis is an anabolic reaction pathway because it constructs a large, complex molecule from smaller molecules.

Answer 4

Hydrolysis is the process of adding a molecule of water to break a bond; larger unit into smaller. Catabolism.

Answer 5

The Calvin cycle is anabolic because it involves building larger molecules (such as glucose) from smaller molecules (carbon dioxide) using energy from ATP and NADPH.

Answer 6

It's a anabolic process

Answer 7

catabolic

Answer 8

catabolic
