Is catabolic a chemical reaction?
Catabolic and anabolic reactions are metabolic processes. Both the capture and use of energy by organisms involves a series of thousands of reactions (metabolism). A catabolic reaction is one that breaks down large molecules to produce energy; an example is digestion. An anabolic reaction is one that involves creating large molecules out of smaller molecules; an example is when your body makes fat out of extra nutrients you eat.
What is the main storage site for fat?
The layer of fat underneath the skin.
5 examples of endothermic?
Most anabolic (synthesizing) biological reactions are endothermic (need energy): fat, carbohydrate, protein, steroid, nucleic acid synthesis (starting with simpler compounds)
Is body fat sugar?
No. Body fat is fat.
What do fats break down into?
first of all, fat is broken down into 3 fatty acids and 1 glycerol molecule. how? a little enzyme, called lipase, is formed in the pancreas(near your liver) like all enzymes, it is shaped to perfectly fit its object, in this case, fat using its awesome 'skill', it separates the fat, and there you have it!
Is emulsification an anabolic reaction or a catabolic reaction?
Emulsification is the process of breaking down large fat globules into smaller, uniformly distributed particles. It is an example of catabolic reaction.
What is the difference between catabolic and anabolic reaction?
catabolism,where energy is rich complex macromolecules are degrade into small molecules.Energy released during this process is trapped as chemical energy usually as ATP. Ananolism,(biosynthesis) the cell synthesise complex molecules from simpler precursors.this needs energy.
WhAt type of reaction is building muscle tissue?
In physiology any process that builds up a tissue (whether it be muscle or bone or fat etc.) is called anabolic (as in "anabolic steroids", which build muscle). The opposite is catabolic, which refers to those processes that break down tissue.
What role does the liver pay in digestion?
The liver creates bile which is excreted in the small intestine. The bile together with the fats in food form micelles which are absorbed by the intestine. The blood supply from the intestines which is loaded with nutrients from the food (fat, sugar, amino acids) all pass through the liver via the portal vein. The liver will, depending on if the body is in an anabolic or catabolic state, then either prepare the nutrients for storage or distribute it to the tissues. The liver can store a small amount of sugar in the form of glycogen and it can package the fats into lipoprotein which carry the fat to other tissues for storage or consumption. It can also make excess sugar and amino acids into fat for easier storage.
Which organ excretes water fat and various catabolic wastes?
Kidney
How is excessive protein stored in the anabolic pathway?
Fat
Are glucocorticoids considered anabolic steroids?
no, in fact corticosteroids can cause fat gain, and muscle wasting. The exact opposite effect of anabolic/androgenic steroids
Is fat used for storage or distribution?
If your bony then distrabution but if your a decent size then the fat will turn into storage.
What is an example of anabolic metabolism?
Anytime two or more reactants are combined it is anabolism, the opposite being catabolism. Examples of Anabolism # Protein synthesis # DNA replication # Muscles growth # Any of the dehydration synthesis reactionsExamples of Catabolism# Hydrolysis # Digestion
What is Steroids?
It means taking a combination of multiple oral and injectable steroids at one time.

What is the function of fats in animal cell?
Fat functions as energy storage devices, as insulators in animals. Fat functions as energy storage devices, as insulators in animals. Fat functions as energy storage devices, as insulators in animals.
