A
The integrated and controlled pathways of enzyme-catalysed reactions within a cell
2
Q

A
Biosynthetic processes that synthesise large molecules from many smaller molecules- require the input of energy
3
Q
What is catabolism?
A
The breakdown of large molecules to provide energy and building blocks - these pathways usually release energy
4
