The synthesis of macromolecules is thermodynamically favourable due to which of the following?
a. | The energy required for the synthesis of macromolecules comes indirectly from substrate-level phosphorylation, oxidative phosphorylation, or photophosphorylation. | |
b. | The energy required comes from the synthesis of macromolecules from ribonucleotide triphosphates or deoxyribonucleotide triphosphates. | |
c. | The concentration of the reactants (monomers) and products (the macromolecule) completely drives polymer formation. | |
d. | The macromolecule possesses less free energy than the monomers, thus no energy is needed. | |
