Q. Identify, whether the given conditions are anabolic or catabolic.
I. Glucose $\longrightarrow$ Lactic acid
II. Amino acids $\longrightarrow$ Proteins

Biomolecules

Solution:

Glucose is degraded into lactic acid in skeletal muscles by a catabolic process through which energy is liberated. Assembly of a protein from amino acids requires energy and hence, it is an anabolic process.
