Expert Solution & Answer
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The term metabolism, catabolism and anabolism.
Introduction:
Every living organism carries out several functions like respiration, digestion growth, movement and so on. These activities may be of constructive nature or of destructive nature. For all these activities it needs energy. This energy is liberated by the digestion or the breakdown of food or any metabolite it consumes.
Explanation of Solution
All the chemical activities that an organism carries out in order to grow and live are together summed as metabolism. They may be constructive or destructive. Based on this fact metabolism is of two types. They are as follows:
- Catabolism: The destructive or the tearing down or the splitting chemical activities in which a bigger substance or molecule is splitted or broken down into two or more simple molecule is called as catabolism. For example: respiration, digestion and so on.
- Anabolism: The constructive or the building activity in which one bigger molecule or substance is formed by two or more complex substances is called anabolism. For example: photosynthesis, growth, mineralization of bones and so on.
