1 parent
What is homeostasis?(maintain stable environment category)
Variables are regulated so internal conditions remain stable
What is Aneobolism?(build up)
Construct molecules from small units
What is Canabolism?(breakdown)
Large molecules are broken down into smaller parts and then used up in respiration
What is metabolism?
A set of life‑sustaining chemical transformations within the cells of living organisms. These enzyme-catalyzed reactions allow organisms to grow and reproduce, maintain their structures, and respond to their environments.
