Q

What are the two phases of Metabolism and what are their functions?

A
  • Anabolism: Is constructive metabolism, the process of building up larger molecules from smaller ones. During this process, the body stores water, food, and oxygen for when these substances are needed most for cell growth and repair.
  • Catabolism: The phase in which complex compounds within the cell are broken down into smaller ones. This process releases energy that is stored by special molecules to be used in muscle contractions, body secretions, or heat production.
