Assign the following metabolic pathways to their correct process and give rationale:
Metabolic Pathway: Catabolic Anabolic
Process: Photosynthesis Cellular respiration
Cellular respiration- Catabolic; Glucose is broken down to form ATP, CO2, & H2O
Photosynthesis- Anabolic; CO2, H2O, & light are build into a glucose molecule
What is the main purpose of Meiosis?
