Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Glycolysis is catabolic, because a large molecule is broken into smaller ones, with a net production of high-energy molecules.
Gluconeogenesis is anabolic because it is a synthesis reaction. It consumes energy as ATP and GTP.
Glycogenolysis is catabolic because it involves breaking larger molecules into smaller ones.
Glycogenesis is anabolic because it consumes energy in the form of UTP in order to build a larger molecule from smaller ones.
