Heat
Term that describes all biochemical reactions in a living organism.
Metabolism
Catabolic Reaction (Decomposition)
Reaction where an initial large molecule is broken down into smaller structures.
Anabolic Reaction (Synthesis)
Reaction where two or more molecules are combined to form a larger molecule.
Type of reaction with both decomposition and synthesis reactions where groups are exchanged between two chemical structures.
