Which of the following statements is true regarding anabolism? Choose 1

А) Energy is released during anabolic reactions.
B) In anabolism, larger molecules are made from smaller molecules.
C) Anabolism is the sum of all the chemical reactions in a cell.
D) Anabolism uses the process of hydrolysis to join molecules together.

B) In anabolism, larger molecules are made from smaller molecules.

Explanation:

Anabolism is a metabolic process that uses up energy that is produced to build up complex and larger molecules from smaller ones. It is part of the chemical process that takes place in a cell.

For example, photosynthesis is an anabolic process, in which the cell forms larger molecules such as glucose from smaller molecules like water and carbon dioxide, with the use of solar energy.

Option B is true regarding anabolism.

The experiment that led to changes to the original cell theory ARE THE EXPERIMENTS THAT SHOWED THAT ALL CELLS ARE SIMILAR IN HOW THEY METABOLIZE AND IN THEIR COMPOSITION.

Scientists always update existing theories to reflect new emerging scientific facts and this was what happened to the cell theory. Some changes were made to the theory when it was discovered that all cells are identical when it comes to composition and metabolism.
