Answer to Question 1

B
Catabolism is the breakdown of food components into small particles, releasing energy as heat and chemical energy. An example of this is the breakdown of glucose to provide energy. Con-version of glucose to glycogen is an example of anabolism, because a smaller substance (glucose) is used to form a larger molecule (glycogen). Synthesis of protein from amino acids is another example of anabolism. Use of enzymes to digest protein is a function of digestion, not related to anabolism and catabolism which are metabolic functions.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
High biologic value proteins provide a higher percentage of essential amino acids. Eggs are an example of a high biologic value protein.
