Metabolism synthesizes. Catabolism breaks chemicals down, rather than putting them together.

Synthesis and decomposition reactions in an organism are called .?

All of the decomposition reactions in an organism taken together is called catabolism, while the synthesis reactions are called anabolism.


Are anabolic reactions called synthesis reactions?

Catabolism is breaking molecules down into smaller molecules (to get energy). You can remember this if you've ever had a cat -- they break things. Anabolism is the opposite: building things up (to make useful stuff). Now look up the definition of synthesis.


Is dehydration synthesis reaction catabolism or anabolism?

What is the building up and breaking down of chemicals in the cell?

Metabolism. The building up (synthesis) of molecules is anabolism, and breakdown of chemicals is catabolism. Metabolism is the term for all cell chemistry, including anabolism and catabolism, as well as other reactions, such as interconversions.


What are the chemical reactions in your body called?

Metabolism and/or catabolism.


In anabolic reactions, how do biochemical reactions facilitate the synthesis of complex molecules within living organisms?

Biochemical reactions in anabolic processes help build complex molecules by combining simpler molecules together. This synthesis is driven by enzymes that catalyze the reactions, allowing the formation of larger molecules like proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids essential for the growth and maintenance of living organisms.


What type of reaction is Metabolism?

The two types of metabolic reactions are anabolism and catabolism.


Is the process of building larger molecules by combining smaller molecules.?

It is called anabolism. The opposite process is termed catabolism.


Which represents the collection of chemical reactions that occurs in a cell?

The overall term for the collection of chemical reactions that occur in a cell is metabolism. This encompasses all the biochemical processes involved in maintaining life, including energy production, synthesis of molecules, and breakdown of nutrients to release energy. Metabolism consists of two main categories: catabolism (breakdown of molecules to release energy) and anabolism (synthesis of molecules using energy).


What is the chemistry of living systems representing all chemical reactions called - A. catabolism B. anabolism C. metabolism D. enzymology E. thermodynamics?

C. metabolism. Metabolism encompasses all the chemical reactions that occur within living organisms, including both catabolism (the breakdown of molecules for energy) and anabolism (the synthesis of compounds necessary for growth and maintenance). It is essential for maintaining the energy balance and cellular functions in living systems.
