Which of the following is true regarding catabolic pathways? They consume energy to build up polymers from monomers. They lead to the synthesis of catabolic compounds. They release energy as they degrade polymers to monomers. They do not depend on enzymes.

They release energy as they degrade polymers to monomers.

Explanation:

In a catabolic pathway, complex hydrocarbons are usually broken down to their monomeric units.

This breaking down leads to the release of energy.
