Is this reaction catabolic or anabolic, and how can you tell?

    The answer is anabolic, the reason being that Glucose is C6H1206 and Fructose also has C6H1206

    so when they come together they make up something that bigger than themselves, in this case sucrose which has a molecular formula of C12H22O11.

    Note the number of Hydrogens (H) and Oxygens(O) have increased for sucrose. It therefore goes without saying that the reaction is anabolic.

    THis is anabolic reaction

    Because a bigger unit is made.

    If the reaction was sucrose--> glucose + fructose then its catabolic because a bigger unit is broken into smaller units..

    So, making up is anabolic.

    And breaking up is catabolic.

    I think its anabolic because multiple things are creating one thing.

    I think of it as CATabolic like CATaclysm - stuff breaking down and broken apart.

    a million) Substrate - what the enzyme acts on. 2) Sucrase 3) Specificity- the energetic information superhighway information superhighway website is "designed" in one in all those way that it will maximum proper lock and key with sucrose. 4) Hydrolysis- the addition of water to minimize up an better molecule into 2 smaller ones. 5) proteins/ catalysts......Hmm, no longer particular of this one 6) Denaturation
