Anabolism - Metabolism - Catabolism

Anabolism - is the set of metabolic pathways that construct molecules from smaller units. These reactions require energy. Usually require energy from ATP.

examples :
Cyclic Cycle
Calvin Cycle

Non Cyclic Cycle


Metabolism: is the set of life-sustaining chemical transformations within the cells of living organisms. These enzyme-catalyzed reactions allow organisms to grow and reproduce, maintain their structures, and respond to their environments.


Catabolism: is the set of metabolic pathways that breaks down molecules into smaller units to release energy.

Examples:


Glycolisis

Kreb Cycle
