Differentiate anabolism and catabolism

Answer 1

Anabolic pathway is the set of metabolic pathways that construct molecules from smaller units ie, it is constructive in nature while catabolic pathway is the set of metabolic pathways that break down molecules into smaller units and release energy ie, they are destructive in nature.

Answer 2

Anabolism is any process that "builds up". Catabolism is the opposite--"breaking down". Catabolism would be what your body does to turn a steak into lipids and proteins. Anabolism is the reverse process of taking those proteins and building muscle cells out of them, for instance.

A good way to remember it is to think of "anabolic steroids", which people take to bulk up.

Answer 3

They're opposites. In anabolism, the body assembles simple substances into more complex ones; in catabolism, the opposite happens, and the body breaks down complex substances in simple ones.

Answer 4

1- Catobolism - Break down of molecules

2-Anabolism - Building up of molecules

Answer 5

series of chemical reactant where products of one reaction from reactants of next reaction

Answer 6

Simply put,

A anabolic pathway builds polymers from monomers and is endergonic overall.

A catabolic pathway breaks apart polymers into monomers and is exergonic overall.
