What is catabolism and what is anabolism?

Catabolism is breaking down process or degradation phase. It happens when you are sick or fasting (not eating). Anabolism is biosynthesis process or reduction phase like making protein from amino acids.

What is the dynamic equilibrium in which protein breakdown is equal to protein synthesis?

Catabolism and anabolism combine to bring about the continuous breakdown of proteins, as well as its resynthesis, that create dynamic equilibrium. Protein synthesis is more dynamic in younger animals than for older ones.


When does protein catabolism usually occur?

Protein catabolism is the breakdown of the proteins into the amino acids which are the basic constituents of the protein. In digestion process the proteins get converted into amino acids and used for the repair and building process of cells. The excess of amino acid get converted into fat and sugar and get stored into liver. Due to illness or prolonged starvation when the body does not get adequate energy, this excess of amino acid in the form of fats or sugar get breakdown and provides energy.


What is protase?

A protease (also termed peptides or protease's) is any enzyme that conducts proteolysis, that is, begins protein catabolism by hydrolysis of the peptide bonds that link amino acids together in the polypeptide chain forming the protein.
