A. anabolic

Answer 5

kt and Okim are correct..The term anabolic means joining of plates or units. Biosynthesis using enzymes and related biomolecules is lumped under the term anabolic ( Think the muscle building anabolic steroids ). The breakdown of compounds using biomolecules is called a catabolic process.  The breakdown and synthesis of compounds in cycles of product and reactants is called metabolism.

Answer 6

A.  Anabolic

"Anabolism is the set of metabolic pathways that construct molecules from smaller units,"

"Biosynthesis is a phenomenon wherein chemical compounds are produced from simpler reagents. Biosynthesis, unlike chemosynthesis, takes place within living organisms and is generally catalyzed by enzymes. The process is a vital part of metabolism."

The difference is that biosynthetic specifies that the new chemical was made within a living organism.
