Explanation:

A. Photosynthesis is a(n) anabolic reaction where energy is invested in the synthesis molecules (ATP, NADH, Trios Phosphates).

b. Glycolysis is a(n) catabolic reaction where carbon is oxidized releasing energy available to do work.

c. The synthesis of ATP is a(n) anabolic reaction.

d. The decomposition of ATP is a(n) catabolic reaction.

d. The reduction of NAD to NADH is a(n) anabolic reaction.

Explanation:

Anabolic reactions build small molecules into large single molecules.

Catabolic reaction break-down large molecules into smaller molecules.
