Catabolic pathways involve the breakdown of nutrient molecules (Food: A, B, C) into usable forms (building blocks). In this process, energy is either stored in energy molecules for later use ...

When people use the word “metabolism” they are often referring to catabolism and anabolism. Catabolism is the breaking down of compounds to release energy, while anabolism is the building of ...

There are different types of metabolic pathways – some are anabolic and some are catabolic. Anabolic – this type of pathway requires energy and is used to build up large molecules from smaller ...
