    Which of the following statements correctly distinguishes anabolic pathways from catabolic pathways in cellular metabolism?

    • A) Anabolic pathways release free energy by breaking down complex polymers into simpler monomers.
    • B) Catabolic pathways consume ATP to synthesize macromolecular structures needed for cellular repair.
    • C) Anabolic pathways are exclusively spontaneous processes that proceed without the input of cellular energy.
    • D) Anabolic pathways synthesize complex molecules from simpler precursors with the consumption of energy, whereas catabolic pathways break down complex molecules into simpler compounds and release energy.
