grouped in ____
pathways
The ______ of one reaction is the _______
for another

Type of Metabolism:
- Breakdown of larger, more-complex
molecules into smaller, less-complex
molecules
– releases energy
catabolism
Type of Metabolism:
-Synthesis of larger, more complex
molecules from smaller, less complex
molecules
- uses energy
Anabolism
Types of energy?
kinetic and potential
